The EHD’s mirror what is on the C-Drive I use the EHD’s to back up the exact data, the same number of files found on the C-Drive. I have a C-Drive (Windows 10) and several EHD’s (external hard drives). In this post, we are sharing software that can do that compare the same files in the same folder in different locations. It can be a text file or images and so on. The source folder always has more files, and that’s where you would like to compare them.

You can assume this is a backup case where you cloned the same set of folders and plan to take a backup every day. With this change you can easily compare and sync two local working copies of the same (or different) remote repository without any fear, that Total Commander will touch any sensitive file during sync process.The case we are discussing here is where you keep the same set of files at multiple places. To achieve this, replace *.* pattern in middle field between two path fields in Synchronize directories tool’s window with: git folder in current folder and in all subfolders, that are being synced. For this purpose you must force Total Commander to completely ignore. You can also sync local version of remote repositories in SVN or Git version control system. See Total Commander help for details on what other values are available and what is the meaning of each of value for this parameter. Setting it to 2 should solve the problem. If you wish to ignore system or hidden files and folders, you can try the SyncHideHiddenSystem option in wincmd.ini. So, I wrote to Total Commander’s author and received immediate response, that this is possible.

The only thing, that I was missing is an ability to ignore hidden system files or files stored in. The Synchronize directories tool in Total Commander is magnificent and I’m using it very often for all my backup-like and sync-like works.
