How to sync two directories based on (filename,filesize) double and ignoring the sub-directory structure
Multi tool use
I messed up our family photo archive of 50k photos/videos. Now I have two directories:
A directory with subdirectories and correct modified dates but a lot of missing files.
Another backup directory with all files under wrong subdirectory structure and wrong modified dates.
What I want to do is, filter all files in the second directory if its filename and filesize doesnot match a file in the first directory. (since there are different photos with the same filename but different size). I couldn't find a way to do this with rsync. Any ideas?
Thanks.
