I'd like to back up my files. I have zillion directories with zillion subdirs and it's possible that some files are duplicated. I would like to find them before backing up. I found a software that can do this but it's not free (zsDuplicateHunter).
Do you know one that is opensource and available for suse?

Depending what you want to do after you find them, you might be interested in faster-dupemerge which locates duplicate files and turns them into hard links:

I haven't used it myself, but know of people who have.
