NoClone is a duplicate file finder that works at the byte level. Any network worth having a full time administrator is almost guaranteed to have duplicate files. Most of these occur because users send them around to each other, or store multiple copies (under different names) in the hopes that you won't find them.
There's rarely a real need for more than one copy of any file, though, other than to waste space. NoClone will find them all and give you a report identifying the files by name and location. It's then up to you to decide what to do about them, but you'd want that ability anyway.
