There is a dupfinder utility in the XP resource kit, that can find duplicate files on a server, you could run 2 copies side by side and export and use a diffing utility to get the info.

Timestamps on a few randomly chosen files incidcate that the data in 'Archive2' is newer, but the timestamp on the 'Archive' folder indicates that it is newer. Most likely, the contents of 'Archive2' is the most recent versions but I'd rather not chance throwing away some newer data by accepting it at face value. Does anyone have any recommendations for a tool that can look for files with the same name and file size between the two folders and then delete one of them so that we can merge what's left together to have one set of data? Depending on how files have the same name but different file sizes, a recommendation for a side-by-side comparison utility would be nice too. Thanks, as always, for your help in advance.
