Hi!

The underlying filesystem (ZFS) uses block-level deduplication, so unique chunks of 128KiB (default value) are only stored once. The 128KB chunks making up dumps are mostly unique since there is no alignment so deduplication will not help as far as I can see.

Best regards,

I’ve tried using freenas/truenas with a data deduplication volume to store multiple sequential dumps, however it doesn’t seem to save much space at all – I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction so that I can download multiple dumps and not have it take up so much room (uncompressed).

 

Has anyone tried anything similar and had success with data deduplication?

 

Is there a guide?
