A new add-in by the name of Snoop-de-dupe was released today for WHS v1 users.

Snoop-de-dupe watches your server in real-time and notifies you when duplicate files appear on the server. You then have the option to either delete the duplicate, create a hard-link to save HDD space (available in WHS/SBS 2011 only), or to ignore/keep, directly from the Home Server Console. 

Features:

• Automatic, real-time continuous file de-duplication scanning
• 160-bit SHA-1 de-duplication hash for optimum results
• Windows Home Server Console integration
• Pause and Resume operation at any time for maximum efficiency of your server
• Select any folders of your choosing on your server for de-duplication scanning
• Simple, easy-to-view heads-up status display to monitor progress
• Easy to navigate list of duplications for: deleting, linking, or ignoring duplicate files
• Quick-launch feature allows for viewing contents of duplicate files

Snoop-de-dupe is priced at $11.99 and a 15 day free trial is available for WHS v1 users, whilst a version for WHS/SBS 2011 will be coming soon.
