I was recommended this extremely handy utility in another thread of mine by JR,
I've been using the 30 trial for a couple of hours and I am very impressed. One of the simplest to use, well thought out pieces of software I've come upon in a long while. Definately up there with WhereIsIt?
What makes this a winner is its ability to filter files such as thumbs.db and .sfk files from the compare. You get two panes, if you find some file that's missing or corrupt from a R Click menu you can copy from left pane to right pane or the other way around. It is uber fast and I've been using it to compare two NAS boxes with 36,000 files. You don't have to drill down into every folder, any folder that contains a missmatch has a different coloured icon which makes it very easy to drill down and find the issue.
Much to my alarm what should have been identical wasn't. Less than 1% errors but a couple of the missing or damaged files would have created a headache down the track.
There's a 30 day full featured trial available, full license is $30 or $50 for the pro version. Scooter Software have my money. Having another independant way to check backups is giving me peace of mind. I'll be using this software a lot.
