+Garage supports a variety of replication modes, with 1 copy, 2 copies or 3 copies of your data,
+and with various levels of consistency, in order to adapt to a variety of usage scenarios.

+### Compression and deduplication

+All data stored in Garage is deduplicated, and optionnally compressed using
+Zstd.  Objects uploaded to Garage are chunked in blocks of constant sizes (see

+and the hashes of individual blocks are used to dispatch them to storage nodes
