Hi,

What's the best way to compare directory structures?

I have a backup utility which uses rsync. I want to tell the exact differences (in terms of file sizes and last-changed dates) between the source and the backup.

Something like:

Local file  	             Remote file	                 	 Compare
/home/udi/1.txt (date)(size)   /home/udi/1.txt (date)(size) 	EQUAL
/home/udi/2.txt (date)(size)   /home/udi/2.txt (date)(size) 	DIFFERENT

Of course, the tool can be ready-made or an idea for a python script.

Many thanks!
