Deduplicate module saves disk space on a server by deduplicating files upon saved to Drupal.
Deduplicate module is useful when you have a multisite setup where sites have a lot of common content. For example you may have the same images on production and staging sites. Deduplicate module removes duplicate versions of the same file to save disk space. Deduplication is done by comparing file content SHA-1 checksum and creating file system hard links.
Beta quality. Files might be lost forever if you don't have backups.
