Hi !

I've seen in some commercial backup systems with included
deduplication (which often run under Linux :-), that files are split in
128k or 256k chunks prior to deduplication.

It's nice to improve the deduplication ratio for big log files, mbox
files, binary db not often updated, etc. Only the last chunk of a log
file would create a new entry in the backuppc pool.

Anybody has idead about how this feature could be added without major
changes to backuppc ? (replacing hard links with text files containing
the list of chunks ?)

cheers,
