I am sure this question has been asked before but I don't seem to be able to find an answer.
I have a folder-tree containing files that gets backed up. This means I have two folder-trees that should be identical but will have different roots. For example:
D:\Folder1
\Folder2
a.txt
b.txt
\Folder3
c.txt
Will get backed-up to something like:
E:\Backups\Folder1
\Folder2
a.txt
b.txt
\Folder3
c.txt
What I want to do is compare D:\Folder1 with E:\Backups\Folder1 and see only differences in file and folder names.
I don't seem to be able to hit upon a way to do this. My differences view always shows folders and files as being orphaned (e.g. c.txt is shown as orphaned on both sides of the compare, presumably because the folder path to each copy of c.txt is different). How do I tell BC4 to ignore the path below a certain level? I thought the act of choosing the appropriate folders for the left and right side of the compare was all that was required for this?
