Sure, but there's other data than that. I do music, as a hobby. A project for an electronic track can have 20GB because everything I use is "statically linked" into it. Doing it this way has all the advantages static linking for binaries has. When your tracks have 20GB but 90% the data is shared, and you keep full history for your track, dedup becomes invaluable. -- Aram Hăvărneanu
