File duplicates finder

February 4, 2008

A month ago I’ve built a small application with a set of Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services reports that inventories files on a specific path on a file system or in SharePoint and stores its hash and location in a table. With this you can identify duplicates between a file server and SharePoint sites as well as get storage statistics.  

I’ll be publishing the solution on CodePlex at the following URL:

 http://www.codeplex.com/fdf

 The project was developped in .Net 3.5  using technologies such as Windows Communication Foundation and Parallel FX for multi-threaded file hashing.

Please note that this is a early version and has not been fully tested.  I ran both SharePoint and file system scans on about 130000 files without apparent issues.

 Enjoy!

    Do you have any information to publish about EMC Documentum Products?

  2. Do you have some information to share on EMC Documentum Family products? I would be real interested into looking at them.

    Hi,

    Unfortunately, I didn’t have the chance to work or look in depth at EMC Documentum.

  4. I believe you are based in Canada?

    Is it a popular product in Canada? or no one has any idea what is that?

    I will appreciate your input.
