Most harddisks contain quite a lot of completely identical files, which consume a lot of disk space. This waste of space can be drastically reduced by using the NTFS filesystem hardlinks functionality, if identical files aka dupes are hardlinked together.
DupeMerge searches for identical files on a logical drive and creates hardlink among those file thus saving lots of harddisk space.
The DupeMerge application was designed to be a command line utility, so copy dupemerge.exe to some directory referenced by your PATH environment variable. %systemroot% is a good place.
Limitations in the unregistered version
- Dupes can only be merged within a NTFS volumes, under NT4/W2K/WXP/W2K3
- Dupes can not be merged across NTFS volumes
- Dupes can only be merged on *fixed* NTFS volumes
- Dupes can only be merged on local NTFS volumes
- There is a NTFS limit of having not more than 1023 hardlinks to one file. Dupemerge knows about this and denies creating more than 1023 hardlinks for one file
What's new in DupeMerge 1.07:
- Dead Junctions to a different drive could lead to not detecting hardlinks during all operations. Very Nasty, but no dataloss caused
