I'm trying to determine if a backup drive of mine has an identical set of files/folders as the source drive, so I've used Finder's "Get info" on one (parent) folder at a time for the source and backup drives. It's very time consuming, so a tool for this would be great. However, all the "compare" tools I've tried really don't do what I want -I believe they're more for comparing the text content of files for changes. I just want to know if I have the same number of files in both folders and if their filesizes are the same (hence assuming they're not damaged or altered in any way).
Another thing: I've noticed that sometimes "Get info" gives me different results from the source and backup drive folders (differing sizes in bytes although the number of files match). Is this something to be concerned about? The strange thing is that many folders report the exact same file sizes while others differ -no consistency.
