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.

compresses and encrypts all data before transmission

Something like differential backup from TSM would be nice (sending only changed blocks of modified files).

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.
