    Tidy up of folders on a NAS


    I have been backing up to my NAS for a few years now. As you can imagine with differing home folder names and other changes, there are multiple copies of my user folders on there. I would like to merge these and sanitise them but I dont want to loose any files.

    Whats the best method for comparing folders and copying the difference over.

    :)
