I know 8.1.4.0 has a defrag option, that moves the content to existing

Hi Remco,
No direct answer to your question, but your statement " dedup on SQL is
non-existant" is kind of astonishing me ...
Here an extract of the output for "q stg DIR_SQL f=d" on my server (you guessed
it, this stgpool is dedicated to SQL backups ...) :

Hi All,
today I ran into something new: an empty directory container. No, not an empty
