A: I laboured up to my armpits through files and folders trying to synchronise various copies
of backups, that's wot!:nod:

Now I'm simply comparing folders and copying "left" and "right" depending on what's not where
it should be. - It's so-o-o-oh-hh much easier!:)

I think the name used to throw me, making me think it did something else :confused013

Oh, Winmerge... (https://sourceforge.net/projects/winmerge/)

I use SyncBack (fee version) to sync/backup my external drives. Come to think of it, been a while since I performed a backup!

Hi Richard. I've also checked that one out. It looks :th3:

That's a good trick!

I was being fooled by the speed of copying image files - no time for progress window to show - but it
was a different story for video files. The trick is to stop or pause the background "Comparison" of the
folders.

From wet week :hb: to lightning...:lightning:...
