How to know the difference between two diff files?

Thread needs solution

Hello.

I would like to know the difference between these two diff files.

HGST HTS721010A9E630_diff_b1_s5_v1.tib

HGST HTS721010A9E630_diff_b1_s6_v1.tib

Will anyone give me the pointer or some information?

Regards.

Shigeto, welcome to these user forums.

There is no simple method of finding the difference between two differential backup files other than to say that the second file (_s6_) contains the changes that were made to the source data since the first backup was made, but that both of these backups contain all the changes made since the initial full backup for this chain was created.

You could try mounting each of these backup files as a drive letter then using a folder comparison utility to try to see what the differences are between the two drive letters.
