Deduplication in filesystem is nice, but does not necessarily do all the job. If your backup system does an rsync to another machine, then you blow up the other machine's disk. If you have disk quotas, then you have to decide which user will be accounted for the deduped space (most likely both users). -- Matthieu Moy http://www-verimag.imag.fr/~moy/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
