File/Folder Comparison Tool

I keep my data on 2 separate drives, for backup purposes. Is there a tool that will help me compare the data in the 2 locations, and identify the discrepancies between the 2, so I can sync them up?

Thanks in advance!

I use Update v2.2 from profiles software. I've been using this package for several years. It's freeware.

Update 2 is extremely configurable. You make configuration files that run in a GUI. There are a hell of a lot of options for filtering, backup type, etc.



+++++ From the site: http://www.profiles-software.com/profiles.html (click Downloads on the menu)

(http://www.profiles-software.com/download/update22.zip)
Update v2.2 File Size: 545 Kb
Description: With Update2, automate the regular update and backup of your data files. Use it for your accounting data, your letters, offers and other documents. Make copies from the server to your station, or to a removable backup drive. Write a script, and every time you double-click it, the update is performed. Include it in your Windows Scheduler, or your Startup folder.
+++++++++++++++
