    Hi

    I have been using synctoy for a while to backup my notebook on an external drive. Unfortunately I had to format my notebbok recently and lost the synctoy files. This lead the notebook not to backup to the same folder on the external drive.

    I now have to huge backup folders on the external drive. Many of the files are the same. What I wanted to know is if anyone knows of a software that can compare each of the files in this two folders and then keep the latest ones deleting the oldest ones?

    Thanks for your help.
