Hi All, A project on my list at home is consolidation of unorganized backups smeared across a bunch of ide hdds. Partions are ext2, ext3, vfat, reiser, etc ... No backups are incremental, so there are lots of duplicates. I was thinking of indexing the files using their md5sums, consolidating the list, then coping the list files to a single new hdd, then verifying the copy using the md5sum. Any comments? Any suggestions on the choice of target filesystem? The larger issue issue is a few hundred cd and dvd backups, but for now, getting rid of the stack of old hdds would be good.
