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.

De-Duping a file server
jdupes is a fork of the old standby fdupes, but it has a Win32 release as well as supporting POSIX.

Any good duplicate file finder for windows?
jdupes is a tuned fork of the well-known fdupes, and has Win32 releases.

Duplicity
I used this many, many years ago but switched to Borg[0] about five years ago. Duplicity required full backups with incremental deltas, which meant my backups ended up using too much disk space. Borg lets you prune older backups at will, because of chunk tracking and deduplication there is no such thing as an incremental backup.

What do you use for VPS backup? Would improved borg setup - pull mode - be enough? Or, do you use something else?
Currently, I'm auto-backing it up with borg (push mode) through wireguard tunnel to NAS behind ISP's CGNAT. The borg takes care of deduplication in SQL file, so incremental update (even in append-only mode) is very small for PostgreSQL dump.

Kopia: Open-Source, Fast and Secure Open-Source Backup Software
Borg 2 has been in development for nearly a year and a half [1] and may probably be released early next year, i.e., early 2024 (just a guess, seeing that even RC1 is not yet released and seems to have a lot of work to be done).
Does anyone know how Borg 1.x and 2 would compare to Kopia?
