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.

Thanks
