Comparing Snapshots

    Use the Compare Snapshots command to compare two snapshots of the same volume or folder. You will be asked to select two snapshot files and provide the name for a folder into which the results will be placed. When File Buddy compares the snapshots, it reports the results in up to four text files and three list files. The list files can be opened in a file list window to access the items in the file.
    The text files contain the full pathnames of the items that have been deleted, modified, moved, and created between the times the two snapshots were taken. The list files can be used to view the new, modified, or moved items in a file list window. A file will not be created if it would have no entries in it. For example, if there were no new items, the files New Items and List of New Items would not be created. If nothing has changed, the folder will be empty.
