Search complementary files

[Gloops]

Hello everybody,

To get files from backups, I should need to find files in a date interval, and that are present on a disk but not another, with same path.

Say I have restored the disk to the 3rd of April, and some files are missing that were saved on 20th.

Those files that are missing on C: are listed on disk G:

After having listed them, my intent is to copy them to C:

The dates can be a help, to find files that are present on a backup and not on another.

I remember MultiCommander has interesting features to realize this, but I do not remember very well.

I find how to select files with same extension as selected, with different extension ...

But what matters is that the file name is present or not in the other panel. Then, it would help if the search can be done recursively on subfolders.

If I remember well, this is one of the key advantages of MultiCommander ?

Or perhaps I mix up ?

How would you do this ?

MC do not have advanced Sync features..

But it depends on how advanced you need it.
You can search for files with a to and from date in the advanced options in the FindFiles Window.
Or you can just select to copy them all and select Skip All for the overwrite question.

You can also select missing files from the button panel. or from Menu > Edit > Compare, Select missing..  Then files that does not existing in the other view is selected. and then you can just copy them

It depends on how advanced you need to.. Do you need really advanced sync feature then you have to use external tool
