BackupPC finds these files automaticially during backup. Only one copy exist in the pool. http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/faq/BackupPC.html Identical Files BackupPC pools identical files using hardlinks. By ``identical files'' we mean files with identical contents, not necessary the same permissions, ownership or modification time. Two files might have different permissions, ownership, or modification time but will still be pooled whenever the contents are identical. This is possible since BackupPC stores the file meta-data (permissions, ownership, and modification time) separately from the file contents. For more details -> 'BackupPC Design' on the same page.
