NAME
     bedup - deduplication program with additional knowledge of burp

SYNOPSIS
     bedup [options]

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

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 configuration file on the
	    server.

     -h|-?  Print help text and exit.

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

     -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 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.

     -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 direc-
     tories 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
