You get much better dedup with a smaller chunk size, for example `borg create --chunker-params=11,24,16,4095 ...` Borg's dedup makes it simpler to think about. The repository is a pool of chunks and each backup is like a set of pointers to chunks. When a chunk is no longer referenced by any backup, it is deleted from the repo. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
