Program for comparing files?

**Rattanaburi** · 26-06-2009, 08:52 AM

Is there a freeware program that will let me compare files on my comp with files on a CD or thumbdrive to check which files are new? I always get things screwed up when saving things and end up taking a long time to resave all my files. I'd rather just pic out the new files from my comp and send them to my backup on the CDs and thumbdrive. Any ideas for a tool which will check all the folders and tell me what is different?

You can use the DOS command xopy to do this...

C:> xcopy c:\data\*.* d:\data\*.* /d/e/y/v

This syntax will copy newer versions of files from the source to the destination, in all subdirectories, will verify the file copy and will not prompt to overwrite existing files...

Total commander is a nice bit of software.

rsync is teh ducks nuts but unless your thumbdrive is plugged to another machine I don't think it will work

deltacopy is a windows gui version of rsync DeltaCopy - Rsync for Windows

or buy yourself a 30-50USD case with rj45 network port in it and drop a drive in and use NASbackup
Introduction - NasBackup

a few boxes appearing on alibaba from china/hk/taiwan based on the nvidia ion platform

1080p HDMI out for the big tele , sata 2 to put a 1 TB drive in there , 10/100 RJ45 LAN and/or b/g wifi to link it to your network , http GUI to manage it , FTP server , samba server so you can map it from your windows boxes , bittorrent client , http browser , youtube browser , H264 and MKV etc and even a remote control so you can operated it with out moving your pimply arse from the couch

I use this for backing up to external hard drive. Might work for you.

Thanks for the ideas. I'll check them out. Muad's looks interesting but most of the time its between a DVD/CD and my D drive.
