I have an (uncompressed) backup of a folder tree on another machine.
By mistake I began working on numerous files on the BACKUP copy.
Is there an app to do a simple comparison of the 2 folder trees to
find the modified items?
Cheers, Antony.
diff -r {folder1} {folder2}
Will give you a whole chapter and verse on the differences. You can also
just get it to report if the files differ with:
diff -rq {folder1} {folder2}
And finally if your version of diff doesn't do this, install a real one :-)
