Copy hard drive with almost similar files?

I have two external hard drives with a lot of data on them. The structure is basically the same on both, but in addition to many identical files, each contains additional files. What's the easiest way to find out which files are only on one hard drive and copy them to the other?

Without any additional programs? Simply take the folder piece by piece. Then the box shouldn’t suck. And double files just skip. He’ll show.

Simply copy everything and skip the already existing files.

Hello K12345,

You could FreeFileSync comparing the two folders to each other, then it shows you all the differences.

Note:

  • Only Compare click. When you click on Sync it will everything Copy from A to B.
  • You can adjust Mirror to make (by B delete everything that is missing from A)
  • When Folder B has a different name than A, it will consider the entire folder as different even if 1000 files are the same in there.
