I recently took part in discussion on ways to back up data to an external
drive.
This works fine, but it simply updates any new or changed files. This means
that if a file is moved from one folder to another or its name is changed,
then the backup may contain duplicates.
Is there a command or a readily available (i.e. free) program which will
compare two sets of files with each other and report the differences.
e.g. when comparing folder x on drive C: and Drive F:
Files on C: and not on F:
a
b
c
d
e
Files on F: and not on C:
s
t
u
v
This won't resolve files which have changed name, but will help a bit.
