Multiple Drives - Redundent Data - How To Create a Single Master Source
My marketing guy has been here for 7 years. every year he gets a new computer and we copy some/most/all from the old drive to the new drive. We now have each of the old drives in drive enclosures connected to his machine to locate that long lost presentation. Is there any way to go through all of the drives and create on single master file of all of the unique files, while isolating/deleting the duplicate files. Any insight someone could share woudl be very much appriciated. I just can't see risking all of this data on Dupless2 created in '05.

Copy all the files to one drive of adequate capacity. During the copy process - using Windows Explorer - you will be notified if a file being copied already exists. Of course you will need someone to sit there to observe the process, but once it's done, it's done.
