   Review - Microsoft SyncToy

   2.0 (Feb 5, 2009)

   I'm not sure i trust SyncToy. First, i copied all my files (drag-n-drop) from my harddrive to my fash drive/memory stick. Then, i created a folder pair across the two (C:\work paired with G:\work), and used SyncToy to preview them for any file changes.
   
   Two problems
   1) In a lot of the operations it identified, the "last modified" time shown in the SyncToy preview list did NOT match the "date modified" time shown for the file in Windows Explorer.
   
   2) Despite having just dragged-n-dropped all the files from G:\work to C:\work, it still identified 'overwrites' as being necessary (when the files should've been identical across the pair). Moreover, it wanted to overwrite the side of the pair having the newer "last modified" time (target path) with the side having the older "last modified" time (source path). In other words, it wanted to overwrite a more recent version with an older version, according to "last modified" times (never mind that the times didn't match what was shown for the files in Windows Explorer, as noted in point #1, above).
   
   If anyone understands what's going on here, and can convince me that my mistrust is unnecessary, that would be cool! thanks.
