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	 pack-
       age.

OPTIONS
       -c path
	      Path to config file (default: /etc/burp/burp.conf).

       -g <list	of group names>
	      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 configu-
	      ration file on the server.

       -h|-?  Print help text and exit.

       -d     Delete any duplicate files found.	(non-burp mode only, use  with
	      caution!)

       -l     Hard link	any duplicate files found.

       -m  <number>
	      Maximum  number  of  hard	links to a single file.	(non-burp mode
	      only - in	burp mode, use the max_hardlinks option	in the config-
	      uration 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.

       -n <list	of directories>
	      Non-burp mode. Deduplicate any (set of) directories.

       -v     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.

       -V     Print version and	exit.

       By default, bedup will read /etc/burp/burp.conf and deduplicate client
       storage directories using special knowledge of the structure.

       With '-n', this knowledge is turned off and you have to specify the di-
       rectories to deduplicate	on the command line. Running with '-n' is
       therefore dangerous if you are deduplicating burp storage directories.

BUGS
       If you find bugs, please	report them to the email list. See the website
