Duplicati vs. CrashPlan Home

[kees-z]

Deduplication indeed doesnt work across multiple backups. In theory, it could be implemented, but this question already has been answered by @kenkendk:

Pointing multiple servers at the same storage location

The whitepaper here indicates shared backup dedupe is being considered. From pg 6: “Shared deduplication. ​By using index files, it becomes possible for multiple backups to utilize the same block volumes. This can enable deduplication across multiple backups, potentially from distributed locations.” Is this something that is planned? Given the high cost of cloud storage this could be very beneficial.
