1) My question is if it is better to backup this NTFS volume to a basic disk using the“Enable optimized backup of Windows deduplicated volumes” and a scheme of weekly full and daily incrementals
no dedupe - but you could enable compression - but ultimately required storage expands with retention.
2) use a MSDP pool with accelerator, to reduce the impact of full backups and the need of huge basic disk? (non optimised backup)
this is what I would do, especially if you have on disk retention of over a week.
3) Further more, can I use windows change journal with accelerator to backup NTFS deduplicated volumes (non optimised backup)?
yes, good idea - combine it with client-side dedupe to move even less data via the LAN
