Writing a script for it using cp should be quite easy, for each of the partition have the script recursively go into all folders and copy the files after verifying if the name already exists in the target partition. If it does, compare checksums, same checksum : do nothing and go to the next file, different checksum : copy and append a number to its name (or append to it a name for the source partition).
