![]() ![]() Borg’s file search tool was not nearly as user-friendly.īorg could also provide superior deduplication, because it did not require identical duplicates. The DKP approach made sense only if I wanted to keep the individual filenames available – which I did I wanted to be able to find them using the Everything search tool. For one thing, the shortcuts created by DKP would not provide any way to recreate an entire archive. The Linux-based Borg deduplication method described in another post was superior in several regards. Most of my files did not change often, so this approach was able to shrink older archives by ~90%. For instance, a 1GB file in an older archive would be replaced by a ~2KB shortcut to an exact duplicate of that file, if DKP found such a duplicate in a newer archive. ![]() DKP offered the ability to replace one file in a pair of duplicates with a shortcut to the other. To reduce the space allotted to the oldest archives, I used DoubleKiller Pro (DKP). I chose to do that by reducing the space allotted to the oldest archives. For instance, there was a folder named H:\. My HIST_ARCHIVE drive (H) contained one folder each, for a series of backups of my DATA drive. ![]() Manual and Cluster Size Changes to Save More Space Using DoubleKiller to Replace Files with Shortcuts ![]()
