This product (and others like it) will work to identify duplicate copies
of FILES. If, for instance, you have multiple copies of the same FILE
(tif, mp3, jpeg, pdf, whatever)it can identify those and flag them so
you can deal with them as you wish.
I believe the original question dealt with identifying duplicate
DOCUMENTS scanned into their system. Due to the nature of scanning it is
very unlikely that a document scanned by one scanner would be the same
on a byte-by-byte basis as the very same document scanned by a different
scanner. I'm not event positive that if you scanned the same document
twice while on the same scanner that the output files would be exactly
the same on a byte-by-byte basis (doubtful!!). Therefore the software
tool mentioned is not likely to work to identify the duplicate scanned
documents as duplicate files.

Mary,
Thanks for the information. I had not heard of this product and will
explore its usefulness with other file formats (.pdf, .doc,. xls, etc.)

Linda Buss had asked about software for identifying "duplicate
documents"
In a previous post on this list, I was referred to this product -
http://noclone.net/adwords.asp
In my limited test of the product (via a free trial download), I was
able to identify duplicates of graphics files and photos, so it might be
able to also do the same with .tiff files since it claims to do a bit by
bit comparison.
Might be worth a try.
