Deduplicating filesystem for bareos storage

[Bartek R]

Hi,

Some time ago i have made a simple benchmark by coping bareos volumes on deduplication enabled ZFS volume. I have used bareos volumes from incremental jobs without encryption enabled in hope of saving some disk space. Unfortunately afaik Bareos interleaves it's metadata in every single data block.

Would it be possible to have metadata and backup data splited into separate files in order to enable more efficient filesystem level deduplication?

Kind regards

Bart
