As tags end up in file names how can you do backups with this? rsync creates duplicates when tags are added since filename changes
- Ardren 10y agoI believe -y or --fuzzy would help with rsync. At least if the file contents hasn't changed.
- gregwebs 10y agoThe pro version offers saving tag in metadata instead https://www.tagspaces.org/products/pro/#tagSidecarSaving https://www.tagspaces.org/products/pro/#tagSidecarSaving But it won't recognize if an external tool moves the file
- mistermann 10y agoI'd much rather it stored it in a central "database" of some sort, but I'd also want automatic detection of renamed files.
- glennsmith88 10y agoThat is what we do at http://www.cloudfindhq.com http://www.cloudfindhq.com, picking up the renamed file issue from the underlying Cloudstores was quite a challenge to implement. A lot of subtleties to get right with not always helpful API endpoints.
- falcolas 10y agoA separate tool which helps with problems like this: rdfind It will let you create hardlinks between identical files to reduce disk space usage. You will still have two files, but the impact will be reduced.
- icebraining 10y agoUse a backup system with deduplication like Tarsnap, ZBackup or bup, then identical (and even just similar) files will occupy the same space.
