You don't have 14 MBs to spare for a static binary? What is this zealotry against interpreter languages? You know that your Go static binaries are basically the same thing - one binary packaged with all the bundled modules into a fat file? Where is the logic here? Also why would deduplicating be uninteresting when the backups are SQL dumps? That is EXACTLY the scenario in which deduplication would shine, because it would take each dump and find parts of it that are the same as the latest backup, finding the individual small chunks that have changed in those dumps, and only backing them up. Do you actually know how deduplication works? You might want to look that up more properly.
