Hi,
I use C2 for daily off-site backups - which works great (including versioning and deduplication).
As a second layer I have weekly Backups on an external USB HD as single-version (for quick access to the full amount of data if something breaks).
There is a lot of redundant data, as I also have to get ActiveBackups on the external USB off-site.
Now I realized I need far more than double the volume-size on my external HD than on my C2 account - I assume due to deduplication on C2.
Why can't we have deduplication on external USB HDs when backing up with HyperBackup? I tried to format the external HD with btrfs (like my internal volume) but this option is not available for external HDs).
Any ideas / suggestions?
thanks,
paradeiser
