hevanw Posted October 9, 2018 Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 With the recent Windows October Update disaster, where users have been reporting that their files or even programs disappeared on their machines, I was wondering if I could use Retrospect to just do a compare of a backup and a local folder, and get a report of the differences so that I can see what files are in the backup but not in the local folder. Of course, I could do a restore to a different location and then compare both folders but that seems a bit cumbersome with an unnecessary restore.

Scillonian Posted October 10, 2018 Report Share Posted October 10, 2018 From from memory... If you set up a Restore with the option to replace missing files the click then button to view the files that will be restored a list of files should be shown. Files with a black diamond exist in both the backup and the destination. Files without a black diamond exist only in the backup. (I don't have access to Retrospect today so can't say the exact steps.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
