I need to compare a number of folders to check for missing files. Some of
the folders are stored on network drives.
Can you recommend any utility that will list the missing files ?

Check out BeyondCompare. That is what I use. Mostly to compare files
though.

rsync with the -n parameter does a “dry run” that can tell you what’s
different without actually synchronizing it.

Freefilesync seems to the job where I work, but takes half an hour to
figure our the diff, and has a xml config that seems to need to be edited
when running in “expert”. The GUI hides quite a bit of options, and I had
to read many posts on the web to get an idea how it works.
What I do is use MS Richcopy in a batch file to get stuff from head office
network drive to a local external USB share. I then follow up with
freefilesync and it seems to be getting the files made at night and syncing
them well.
I wish my work would just use DFS or equivalent, but we don’t. “yet”…
We do this to have a local copy of the 300 Gigs of the data we need access
to that is over a slower wan link during work hours.
