Without FreeDup's hardlinks my current off-site backup would be 3.4TB, but instead it is only 270MB. That is 12 backups in total - 3x monthly, 4x weekly and 5x daily backups + the current backup running. - [[User:Giskaard | Giskaard]] ([[User_talk:Giskaard|talk]] | [[ Special:Contributions/Giskaard| contribs]])
