NAME

bedup - deduplication program with additional knowledge of burp

SYNOPSIS

bedup [options]

A file deduplication program with additional knowledge of burp storage directories. This program comes with the burp backup and restore package.

OPTIONS

Path to config file (default: /etc/burp/burp.conf).
Only run on the directories of clients that are in one of the groups specified. The list is comma-separated. To put a client in a group, use the 'dedup_group' option in the client configuration file on the server.
Print help text and exit.
Delete any duplicate files found. (non-burp mode only, use with caution!)
Hard link any duplicate files found.
Maximum number of hard links to a single file. (non-burp mode only - in burp mode, use the max_hardlinks option in the configuration file) The default is 10000. On ext3, the maximum number of links possible is 32000, but space is needed for the normal operation of burp.
Non-burp mode. Deduplicate any (set of) directories.
Print duplicate paths. Useful if you want to double check the files that would be hard linked or deleted before running with one of those options turned on.
Print version and exit.
