I have backed up My Docs by Copying and pasting to an external drive.
However there is a discrepancy beween the original and the copy of around 24
megs and more importantly there are 2 files missing from the copy. I can't
work out where the missing files are or should be, although I do notice that
some folders have a very small discrepancy in "size" (but not "Size on
disk"), but recopying them makes no difference.

Any thoughts as to how I can determine what files might be missing, how I
can find them, etc would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Use Microsoft SyncToy to synchronize the folders of your choice in the way
you want to.
