jadupes is a duplicate file detector that is inspired by jdupes, while having different design goals:
-
jdupes has many configuration options and operation modes. jadupes is (currently) designed to do exactly one thing: dedupe rsnapshot backup archives.
-
jdupes is designed to be extremely fast while using little memory. jadupes favors a small and simple codebase and more expensive higher language constructs over resource usage.
-
jadupes functionality should be verified by automated tests.
It also also a direct descendant of my own, unfinished Perl variant of jdupes called pdupes: It turns out that currently I like Java and Eclipse refactoring tools more than cool classic Perl ;-)
java jadupes.jar <directory> [<directory> ...]
jadupes will scan all files in the given directories and will then hardlink duplicate files to each other to consume disk space.
Does not work yet.
- fresh project: todo ALL the things!
