Yeah I did try it on btrfs IIRC - but it's far too complicated (as opposed to hammer dedup where everything is included and it just works) and doesn't cater to my use case too well - I have multiple machines backing files up to a SMB share with lot of potential for duplicate data. I also need to be able to access those backed up files back over SMB. Just making a HAMMER mount point, running dedup on it via cron job at night and exporting it via Samba does everything I need.
- rincebrain 10y agoYeah, that's much nicer for your use case than bup. (I should point out that Windows apparently has similar after-the-fact dedup capabilities on NTFS in Server 2012/R2 and up [1], though I suspect you'll find DFBSD much easier to run with low overhead in a VM.)
