My understanding of Commvault Dedupe is that you have to run a full backup (read the whole disk and transfer the whole thing compressed over the network), but commvault will only*store* the changes, using an index to identify duplicate blocks. Is this correct?
Yes, that is correct.
We have that for file system, not for Oracle. We call it "synthetic full backup".The most interesting solutions I've seen allow you to only run incrementals [forever] or only ship logs [forever] and the appliance synthetically generates fulls which can be restored in one shot.
