First of all, as Cyphertite probably aspires to be something like IBM TSM or Symantec NetBackup, it should implement as many of their killer features as possible.

Quote:
compresses and encrypts all data before transmission
Something like differential backup from TSM would be nice (sending only changed blocks of modified files).

Quote:
deduplicates using fixed-size pieces of data called "chunks"
Deduplication is very nice feature.

Quote:
all network traffic is encrypted using openssl certificates and keys
Not all that critical for LAN, more for WAN, important for location <-> location backup over the net.

Quote:
realm deduplication i.e. only backs up a file once if it is on N computers that share the same user account
Also nice, but if deduplication is 'ON' then would the duplicated blocks wouldnt be deduped anyway?

Generally the creators of Cyphertite should get a copy of TSM server (available for download), check IBM Redbooks and other IBM TSM information and check what else they would need/implement.
