It would be useful if disk packer identifies duplicates in the backup set.
There are two possibilities:
1. User might give the same input path twice
2. In different input paths we might have same file or folders
Diskpacker should by default backup only one set and report the details of
the duplicates.
Criteria to identify the duplicates: Files and folders with same name,
size, and other suitable attributes. Checksum could also be used.
Note: There can be a future requirement to identify duplicate photos, music
files, etc which may not have the same file name (e.g. iTunes, and iPod
files have different file names). In these cases checksums, and tag
comparison (in general embedded metadata) could be used.
