"duplicate" or "duplication"?

[ngoc_lan]

I don't know which is correct. Please help.

Don't worry, I have a duplicate/duplication on my hard drive.

I've looked up in the dictionary and found that both of them are nouns.

So which is correct? Or both?

I hope to hear from you soon

Thanks.

Of the two "duplicate" is correct. I'd probable say "I have a copy on my hard drive".

So in which context should I use "duplication", not "duplicate"?

I can't think of any good reason to use "duplication" instead of "duplicate".
