Compare contents ... synchronisations to make sure contents are the same in
each folder.

SyncBack does this but doesn't check against md5 sums as far as I can see or
does it?

Thanks.

Ian.

Y'know;

I don't know that I've come across any compare/sync proggies that check
against md5's. Interesting. Fwiw, Comparator is a good two-step proggy
for automatically comparing and, optionally, synchronizing.

Unison is a great synchronizer: abandonware but amazing small footprint
and /very/ stable.

HUH? "Abandonware: software that the original owner no longer offers to
the public. Abandonware refers to a product that is no longer marketed
or distributed by the author/company that published it." etc. See:

Perhaps you meant to say it hasn't been updated in a while?
