Most sources suggested the use of rsync so I ended up with the following command: rsync -ac -compare-dest=./old/ new/ difference/ I have searched all around and it seems like a simple thing to tackle, but I can't get it to work in my particular example. How do you compare old with current and copy the files which are different (or entirely new) in current to difference? folder difference, which is just an empty folder.folder old, which contains an older version of the same files.folder current, which contains your current files.It is obviously too inefficient and even impractical to find them one by one by manually comparing the names, sizes, contents and other attributes of a large number of files. Large files are actually quite easy to find and clean up, but duplicate files are almost always scattered all over the disk and usually hard to find. The biggest killer of disk space is not large files, but duplicate files, such as photos, music, videos, eBooks, documents, etc. This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International License.
