# Replace copies with hardlinks
|
||||
|
||||
You recently switched to a proper setup that supports Hardlinks and Instant Moves (Atomic-Moves).
|
||||
|
||||
And you would like to replace copies with hardlinks ?
|
||||
|
||||
If your Operating System supports it you could make use of [Jdupes](https://github.com/jbruchon/jdupes).
|
||||
|
||||
## Usage
|
||||
|
||||
!!! info ""
|
||||
I won't cover every command :bangbang:
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to know what else [Jdupes](https://github.com/jbruchon/jdupes) can do please read the manual.
|
||||
|
||||
!!! tip
|
||||
This process can take a long time and a pretty big hit on your resources depending on how big your library is, I did notice the first time it takes longer then the second time. Not sure if this is a cache thing or something else.
|
||||
|
||||
- That's why I suggest to do it based on categories (Movies, TV, Music etc).
|
||||
- I don't suggest to use this on a cloud based setup.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
jdupes [options] DIR1 DIR2
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This will print matches and --summarize at the end
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
jdupes -M -r "/data/torrents/movies/" "/data/media/movies"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This will hard link all duplicate files without prompting.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
jdupes -L -r "/data/torrents/movies/" "/data/media/movies"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
!!! bug ""
|
||||
Windows allows a maximum of 1023 hard links per file
|
||||
|
||||
!!! Warning
|
||||
The `-Q` or `--quick` option only reads each file once, hashes it, and performs comparisons based solely on the hashes. There is a small but significant risk of a hash collision which is the purpose of the failsafe byte-for-byte comparison that this option explicitly bypasses. Do not use it on ANY data set for which any amount of data loss is unacceptable. You have been warned!
