The Bareos 24 release plan has been finalized
Bareos 24 will be released in November 2024.
The following features are planned to be part of the release:
Dedupable Storage Backend
This new storage backend stores the backup data in a format optimized for deduplication. This allows Bareos volumes to be deduplicated by storages and filesystems with deduplication support (like ZFS, VDO, btrfs and others). The new command line tool bdedupestimate can estimate the deduplication potential of existing backup volumes, helping users optimize their storage use.
