Looking for a dedupe software
Would like to know your circumstances and needs a bit more. In the interim check out the project link https://github.com/unreadablewxy/fs-curator

Do any of you use a data management software?
If you're interested, check out its github page

Does data curation get in the way for anyone else?
A bit later, I found sorting the flood of data, pruning unused meta-data, deduplicating was beneath me so I built fs-curator.
- Reverse image search in my own local database?
-
I need to develop my own software, help me figure out which languages to do this in.
I maintain some projects that uses them to organize files might want to check them out (an example)
-
My workflow has led to redundant and chaotically organized data. After organizing it, how can I safely prune redundant files from backups?
Check out my project fs-curator, an incremental dedupe & sorting daemon. It sits there waiting for you to feed files into directories that it monitors, decides if it is a duplicate or not and lets you decide what do next.

File Servers... how are you handling duplicates
I recommend the use of jdupes, a fork of the well-known fdupes, to find duplicate files.

fdupes: Identify or Delete Duplicate Files
200 lines of Nim [1] seems to run about 9X faster than the 8000 lines of C in fdupes on a little test dir I have. If you need C, I think jdupes [2] is faster as @TacticalCoder points out a couple of times here. In my testing, `dups` is usually faster than `jdupes`, though.

I'm amazed how I find anything & why I have so many dupes!
There's always the well-respected tool, Czkawka. Or, of the CLI is your thing, jdupes is a good option.
- Anyone know of any good file deduplication tools?

My research into this many years ago turned out that jdupes was the right / best solution I could find for my usecase.
https://github.com/jbruchon/jdupes
Though that works fine from a script perspective I'd like some more interactive way of sorting directories etc. Identifying is just the first step, jdupes helps with linking the files (both soft and hard links comes with caveats though!) but that is mostly to save space, not to help in reorganisation.

Does jdupes do a 'dry run' if you just specify directory(s) and no other options
I can work it out by looking at https://github.com/jbruchon/jdupes.
-
replace duplicates with hard links - I think jdupes is the answer, or maybe fclones (I have questions)
I have looked at a few alternatives and think jdupes is the one for me. Then I found out it was not multi-threaded so will give it a go but the developer of jdupes recomended fclones (https://github.com/jbruchon/jdupes/issues/186) if you were dealing with large file systems and wanted multi-threading. But as I am using a HD it may not be necessary.
