It highly depends on the type of data that is being backed up.

For my regular user files, I think a file-based deduplication works OK. But  
for my VM images, hardlinks would only save space for those VMs which did  
not run between the current and the preceding backup.

Btw.: I am personally not using any hard-link based approach, mostly due to  
the missing encryption and integrity protection of data and metadata.
