11
12
13       A file deduplication program with additional knowledge of burp protocol

15       restore package.

OPTIONS

19       -c path
20              Path to config file (default: /etc/burp/burp.conf).
21
22       -g <list of group names>
23              Only  run  on  the directories of clients that are in one of the
24              groups specified. The list is comma-separated. To put  a  client
25              in  a group, use the 'dedup_group' option in the client configu‐
26              ration file on the server.
27
28       -h|-?  Print help text and exit.
29
30       -d     Delete any duplicate files found. (non-burp mode only, use  with
31              caution!)
32
33       -l     Hard link any duplicate files found.
34
35       -m  <number>
36              Maximum  number  of  hard links to a single file. (non-burp mode
37              only - in burp mode, use the max_hardlinks option in the config‐
38              uration  file) The default is 10000. On ext3, the maximum number
39              of links possible is 32000, but space is needed for  the  normal
40              operation of burp.
41
42       -n <list of directories>
43              Non-burp mode. Deduplicate any (set of) directories.
44
45       -v     Print  duplicate  paths.  Useful if you want to double check the
46              files that would be hard linked or deleted before  running  with
47              one of those options turned on.
48
49       -V     Print version and exit.
50
51       By  default, bedup will read /etc/burp/burp.conf and deduplicate proto‐
52       col 1 client storage directories using special knowledge of the  struc‐
53       ture.
54
55       With  '-n',  this  knowledge  is turned off and you have to specify the
56       directories to deduplicate on the command line. Running  with  '-n'  is
57       therefore dangerous if you are deduplicating burp storage directories.
