Search Results for "hard link"

Searches for files that are duplicates of each other and creates a script that will cause hard links to replace files that are duplicated so saving disk space. Download executable and type 'link-dups -h' for command line help.

...wildcards to allow inserting matched strings like Windows 'copy *.old =.new' Some examples: # Rename current files as old doall 'mv *.cur *.old' # Compress camcorder DV files doall 'ffmpeg -i *.dv *.mp4' # Move files into directories according to their extension doall 'mv *.* $2/$1.$2' # Symbolic links from vmlinuz.new to vmlinuz-5.12.6-foo, similarly config.new System.map.new doall 'ln -s /boot/*-5.12.6-* /boot/$1.new' # Hard link 3-character abbreviations for file extensions doall 'ln *.???* $1.$2' As shown above, instead of '=' to indicate insertions, doall uses either * or $1 etc. doall -p (pretend mode) shows a list of commands instead of executing them doall -i (interactive mode) asks for confirmation for each command in turn doall -k (keep-running mode) ignores failing commands

Rsync time backup is a shell script that provides Time Machine–style backups using rsync, with a focus on being simple, flexible, and cross-platform. It creates incremental backups of files and directories, placing each snapshot in its own timestamped folder so you can restore files by simply copying them from the backup tree. Unchanged files between backups are represented as hard links, which means you get a full snapshot view of each backup while using minimal additional disk space. The...

rsback makes rotating backups using the common rsync program combined with hard-link copies on Unix-based backup hosts. This results in a fast and disk space saving backup technique. No more updates of rsback will be published here. Current versions are available here: https://www.pollux.franken.de/projekte/rsback
