Data Hoarder

We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

So from the rest of the comments it seems to be the desktop client. That thing is a bit of a dog of a program to be honest. I have a couple of offsite backups. I think I will keep them as archival moving forward and get even more backup drives. Anyone know a good tool I can use on a mac to compare my old backups with my current drive contents to check for missing folders / files? I use freefilesync at the moment to backup my plex library, I suppose that would be a good place to start?

I use the client but only for streaming files, not sync. Maybe I'm in the clear?
