Im looking for an option to compile all my folders Ive copied and cloned into one location, so I can remove a couple from service.
I have years of photos on various HDD (all copied into a 2nd central location, and backed up into Backblaze) but I have 3 or 4 HDD that I also had copied stuff onto at one point or another as another fail safe, but now I have folders upon folders, and some have 95% or 100% of others.
basically I want to copy all that files onto the new 5tb drive, and make sure everything from those is there, then make sure all of that is on the other main HDD.
Beyond compare looks good, but the $30 option only does 2 folders at a time, but for $60 I can do 3.
I see a lot of compare tools, but it looks like a Lot of them are Code / text / HTML file, I just want to make sure the CR2s have the same date and size and move on.
 
Araxis Merge is a development comparison/merge tool for both files and folders. You can get a 30 day trial at:


It replaced Araxis find duplicate files which I used to compare terabyte sized picture directories.

Just make sure your 3-2-2 backup strategy is in place before you start the deletions.
