Hi guys.
Finally, I have nearly finished moving from old Synology to homebrewed FreeNAS.
The question is:
There are about 3/4 TB of old backups of accounting database (for the most part the huge amount of small .dbf files. Around 6xx.xxx files)
It appeared so that backups were made by 2/3 different backups systems so... it is a mix of un-compressed folders and same folders compressed by 7zip/rar/zip.
How you would recommend to re-pack all this data with maximum compression and changing equal files with hardlinks?
I think that the obvious solution is to de-compress all folders to get the whole un-compressed directories array and then, pack it again with something that can work with substitution of equal files with hard links (btw what should it be?). But…. it means hours of routine-job. Are there any smarter solutions?
Is there any freenas compatible compressor that can re-pack folders/archives with files/hardlinks substitution in one go?
