[Improvement] Feature to check for files [on an external disk] which are *not* present somewhere on the [backup] disk #162
Comments
Hello, can we talk about such a new feature? If you wish, I can explain again why It's something like https://askubuntu.com/a/767988

OK an rsync solution should work if the structure in the dest was similar to that in the source. So I presume the structure of your source Z is different to that in dest X. So you want the equivalent of the following, but with more efficient handling of unique file sizes etc:
One could avoid the overhead of scanning and checksumming $DST if it was not updated between fslint dedupe runs. In that case fslint could write and index of size,checksum,name which could be used directly in the process above |
Yes, the structure is different, or may be different, so we have to "search" for the file hash. I also found this proposal for "fdupes" adrianlopezroche/fdupes#19
Currently I run the suggested sequence from https://askubuntu.com/a/767988 (see above):

I wish to have a feature which makes intelligent use of the checksum/hashes of the huge "backup" drive X so that - when I connect a smaller drive Z to my computer - so that I can quickly list all those files which are
This is a "one-way" check. I don't want to have the huge list of differences. I only want to know those files from Z which for one reason or another have not been copied (or later moved) to drive X, on any directory there. So basically, it's a checksum/hash issue.
