It's much more efficient to deduplicate, then add redundancy. Like say storing said blobs on a RAIDz3. Or use backblaze's approach and split the blob into 17 pieces, add 3 pieces of redundancy, and distribute the chunks across 20 racks.
If you are serious of course you'd have an onsite backup, deduplicated, with added redundancy AND the same offsite.
