# v3.42.0 Release Notes
## What's New in v3.42.0
### Deduplication - Resistance is Futile
Content-defined chunking deduplication for space-efficient backups. Like restic/borgbackup but with **native database dump support**.
```bash
# First backup: 5MB stored
dbbackup dedup backup mydb.dump
# Second backup (modified): only 1.6KB new data stored!
# 100% deduplication ratio
dbbackup dedup backup mydb_modified.dump
```
#### Features
- **Gear Hash CDC** - Content-defined chunking with 92%+ overlap on shifted data
- **SHA-256 Content-Addressed** - Chunks stored by hash, automatic deduplication
- **AES-256-GCM Encryption** - Optional per-chunk encryption
- **Gzip Compression** - Optional compression (enabled by default)
- **SQLite Index** - Fast chunk lookups and statistics
#### Commands
```bash
dbbackup dedup backup <file> # Create deduplicated backup
dbbackup dedup backup <file> --encrypt # With AES-256-GCM encryption
dbbackup dedup restore <id> <output> # Restore from manifest
dbbackup dedup list # List all backups
dbbackup dedup stats # Show deduplication statistics
dbbackup dedup delete <id> # Delete a backup
dbbackup dedup gc # Garbage collect unreferenced chunks
```
#### Storage Structure
```
<backup-dir>/dedup/
chunks/ # Content-addressed chunk files
ab/cdef1234... # Sharded by first 2 chars of hash
manifests/ # JSON manifest per backup
chunks.db # SQLite index
```
### Also Included (from v3.41.x)
- **Systemd Integration** - One-command install with `dbbackup install`
- **Prometheus Metrics** - HTTP exporter on port 9399
- **Backup Catalog** - SQLite-based tracking of all backup operations
- **Prometheus Alerting Rules** - Added to SYSTEMD.md documentation
