How to de-dupe 3 drives with some overlap, perhaps different versions?
Hi, this weekend I plan a fresh install of Win 7 Pro on a new SSD. The data will go on a 2nd HDD. After I install the OS, I'll need to port all data from 3 separate drives (legacy PC and 2 external HDs) to a new internal HDD in the new PC. Up to now, I have been backing up data manually and have lost track which files I've backed up, if they are separate versions, etc. With the new year and new PC I have committed to using windows backup or 3rd party app to do this automatically.
Is there a way I can send the data on all 3 drives through an app and have that app detect multiple versions so that I can delete duplicates...before loading the cleaned up data files onto my new PC?
Once accomplished, what is the best way to transfer the cleaned up data to the new HDD? Simply click, drag and drop onto the new drive or is there a program for this (video, flac, msoffice, app data files, etc.)?
Thanks!
