For example, to dedup a tar file you can invoke dedup as follows: - tar cf - ~/bak | dedup + tar cf - ~/bak | dedup -r ~/bak-dedup -This will create .{cache,index,store} files in the current directory. -The store file contains all the unique blocks.

To list all known revisions run: - dedup -l + dedup -r ~/bak-dedup -l You will get a list of hashes. Each hash corresponds to a single file (in this case, a tar archive). To extract a file from the deduplicated store run: - dedup -e <hash> > bak.tar + dedup -r ~/bak-dedup -e <hash> > bak.tar You can mix dedup with other programs like gpg(1). For example to perform a remote backup you can use the following command: - tar cf - ~/bak | gpg -c | ssh user@host dedup + tar cf - ~/bak | gpg -c | ssh user@host dedup -r ~/bak-dedup Cheers, sin diff --git a/dedup.c b/dedup.c @@ -519,14 +519,14 @@ term(void) void usage(void) { - fprintf(stderr, "usage: %s [-clv] [-e id] [file]\n", argv0); + fprintf(stderr, "usage: %s [-clv] [-e id] [-r root] [file]\n", argv0); exit(1); } int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { - char *id = NULL; + char *id = NULL, *root = NULL; int fd = -1, lflag = 0, cflag = 0; ARGBEGIN { @@ -539,6 +539,9 @@ main(int argc, char *argv[]) case 'l': lflag = 1; break; + case 'r': + root = EARGF(usage()); + break; case 'v': verbose = 1; break; @@ -549,6 +552,11 @@ main(int argc, char *argv[]) if (argc > 1) usage(); + if (root != NULL) { + mkdir(root, 0700); + chdir(root); + } + init(); if (cflag) {
