Yeah but veeam doesn’t support fast block cloning which means you don’t need to ever recopy blocks that don’t change. From a performance point of view, fast block cloning gives incredible speed up so that in turn means more backups happen in a short time. That’s pretty important even at our small business scale. I guess larger veeam service providers solve things differently.
ZFS has deduplication, you just don’t want to use it. As deduplication grows, it requires more and more RAM on the ZFS server. :(
Dedupe hash table can be moved to ssd but obviously slower

Hmm, now I wonder how well NTFS deduplication stacks up against XFS and ZFS.
Well enough, I guess, that I’d never heard if NTFS having that feature 'till now. ;)
