List duplicated content, largest reclaimable space first (runs hash first).
On this page
backdown dupes [OPTIONS]Options
--min-size <MIN_SIZE>- Ignore files smaller than this (e.g. 100K, 1M, 2G). Default:
1M. --limit <LIMIT>- How many groups to list. Default:
20. --json- Print it as JSON, for scripts.
--jobs <JOBS>- Readers per device; 1 suits spinning disks, raise it for SSDs. Default:
1. --retry-errors- Retry files that failed to read last time.
Also takes the global options --db and --local.
Good to know
Hardlinks count once. Only fully hashed files are grouped, and dupes runs hash first.
