Re: [slim] Cross referencing 2 large music collections ?
Hmmm, I see you are comparing same folders, so that's good. Number of subfolders is exactly the same, but files different. That makes me nervous. When I do this, the files, folders, and bytes (not bytes on disc, but the first listing of total bytes) are all identical. I assume the drive with the greater number of files is your source disk and the smaller number of files is your new backup (target)? Not sure what's causing this. Is one of these a NAS? Are there hidden files somewhere not being transferred. I recall you use foobar2000 as well. If so, open up foobar2000 and change your music library to the "tagged" folder of the original drive. Then in foobar2000 what does it tell you about the total number of music tracks? Then change your music library to the tagged folder of the new drive. What does foobar2000 tell you about total tracks? Are both the same or different? *Home:* VortexBox 4TB (2.4) > LMS 7.9.1 > Transporter, Touch, Boom, Radio (all ethernet) *Cottage:* VBA 3TB (2.4) > LMS 7.9.1 > Touch > Benchmark DAC I, Boom, Radio w/Battery (all ethernet except Radio) *Office:* Win8(64) > LMS 7.9.1 > Squeezelite *Spares:* Transporter, Touch(3), Radio(3), Boom, SB3, CONTROLLER *Controllers:* iPhone6 & iPadAir2 (iPeng & Squeezepad), CONTROLLER, or SqueezePlay 7.8 on Win10(64) laptop *Files:* ripping: dbpoweramp > FLAC; post-rip: mp3tag, PerfectTunes; Streaming: Spotify garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106109 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

When you compare the two drives after synching the two, you should have exactly the same number of files and folders (and even exact total bytes). One thing to check (and this happens to me sometimes). Make sure when you do properties that you are only selecting the top folder of the music files you synched and then select properties, and not the entire drive (which could have other files on it *other than* the music folders you synched. for example, if you compare: d:\musicfiles\ to e:\ you may get different count that includes files outside of \musicfiles\ folder.

In my settings, I use the "synchronize Mirror __>" setting on the upper right side. That is, I want the target drive (right side) to be an exact copy of the source drive (left side).I prefer this over two way sync. With two way sync, something odd that I did with the target drive would then end up polluting the source drive. See pic. Also, I've done over 1TB in one batch.

The *CONTENTS* (subfolders and files) of the folder on the left, will be copied to the folder you select on the right. Note the word "contents".

Re: [slim] Cross referencing 2 large music collections ?
It should create the missing (new) folder. Maybe you need to be choosing the parent directory just above the folder. For example if I have flac/artist/album/tracks i set c:/flac to be the directory synched.

This is why all my backups are not created from a single "master". I didn't go into all that, but more specifically, I have 3 working systems (home, office, and weekend cottage). Each of these has a "master". Additions/deletions from these 3 masters are NOT done automatically. I manually add new files, remove duplicates, etc. The only comparisons I do are that when all 3 are manually updated with changes, I can check to see that the (1) total number of files/directories, (2) total number of tracks, and (3) total number of albums are all identical. Then at each of these 3 locations I have backup HDDs that I use freefilesync to keep in sync with the master from that location. At office and weekend cottage I only have one external backup HDD. At home (which I consider the "main" system) I have two USB HDDs containing synched copy of "home" master. The backups are stored not connected to power or a computer. The downside of this is that I have to keep a temporary drive containing files I need to add to all 3 locations and keep a log reminding me what I need to do at each location to keep all up to date. This sounds way more complicated than it is. Just a few lines in a file, with some dates that things happened so I know the status. I suspect that I am not as good about keeping track of minor tagging tweaks across the 3 locations, but I do try. The upside is that I have 3 parallel systems, all with backups, and the files are not cross-contaminating across the 3 sets. Accidental deletion at one location doesn't taint another location. And after adding new files, deleting files, etc. at any location, I always confirm that the totals mentioned above are consistent across the 3 locations. Again, all sounds complex, but really simple and something I just do on a regular basis (I add new rips, etc. (or re-rips in FLAC of old mp3 rips) about every week or two; I don't add files each time I rip a new CD and instead wait until I get a week or two's worth and then do all the updating. *Home:* VortexBox 4TB (2.3) > LMS 7.8 > Transporter, Touch, Boom, Radio (all ethernet) *Cottage:* VBA 3TB (2.3) > LMS 7.8 > Touch > Benchmark DAC I, Boom, Radio w/Battery (all ethernet except Radio) *Office:* Win8(64) > LMS 7.9 > Squeezelite *Spares:* Transporter, Touch(3), Radio(3), Boom, SB3, CONTROLLER *Controllers:* iPhone6 & iPadAir2 (iPeng8 & Squeezepad), CONTROLLER, or SqueezePlay 7.8 on Win7(64) laptop *Files:* ripping: dbpoweramp > FLAC; post-rip: mp3tag, PerfectTunes; Streaming: Spotify garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106109 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Cross referencing 2 large music collections ?
I'd suggest that the mirroring approach only fulfills half of the requirements for a good backup. What happens if you accidentally delete some files on your main drive but don't notice for a period of time. A period of time during which the "deletion" has been written to your backup. I use rsync from my main server to 2 others. One is local (i.e. in my house), the other is remote but I don't sync deletions. The upside is even if I accidentally delete a file its still on the backups. The downside is that when I replace an MP3 rip of a particular CD with a FLAC one I can, and do, end up with 2 copies of the CD on the backups.

Hello My main music collection died last night (on a WD USB hard drive - one drop too many !). I have a double back up of this (another USB HD & an external, AC-powered HD), but this has been done manually over the years so am uncertain as to how accurate the backups are. Is there an easy way to cross reference these collections, to ensure the maximum number of folders/files are restored to the new drive (hopefully without any missing) ? e.g. to find which files (if any) are absent from either drive that are present on the other...
