I use Carbonite as my cloud backup. Recently I had to restore all files due to a hard drive crash. The restore was interrupted and happened twice. This resulted in many dupe entries like this (e.g. Group 54 listing):

"TAVStime2.xlsm C:\Dale\Documents\02HumanResources\ 54 40.9 KB 2/8/2012 9:30:31 AM 2/8/2012 9:48:54 AM Microsoft Excel Macro-Enabled Worksheet 460872a4e9bdbab412bdb2c58d0e5712"

"TAVStime2.xlsm C:\Users\Dale\Carbonite Restore M17x\Dale\Carbonite Restore M17x\Users\Dale\Documents\02HumanResources\ 54 40.9 KB 2/8/2012 9:30:31 AM 2/8/2012 9:48:54 AM Microsoft Excel Macro-Enabled Worksheet 460872a4e9bdbab412bdb2c58d0e5712"

"TAVStime2.xlsm C:\Carb Restore\Users\Dale\Carbonite Restore M17x\Dale\Carbonite Restore M17x\Users\Dale\Documents\02HumanResources\ 54 40.9 KB 2/8/2012 9:30:31 AM 2/8/2012 9:48:54 AM Microsoft Excel Macro-Enabled Worksheet 460872a4e9bdbab412bdb2c58d0e5712"

My desire is to select, mark, and delete all dupes in all groups that meet these criteria:
IF a file in a group exists in any directory except C:\Users\Dale\Carbonite Restore M17x or C:\Carb Restore,
THEN delete all duplicate files in that group in directories C:\Users\Dale\Carbonite Restore M17x and C:\Carb Restore.

The net effect desired is to keep the top file shown in group 54 above, and delete the following two files. How can I accomplish this automagically? (221,394 duplicate files found)

Is there a way in Duplicate Cleaner Pro to support this approach?

If not, what else can I try?

First thing I would do would be to run scans against

C:\Users\Dale\Carbonite Restore M17x\
&
C:\Carb Restore\

Delete all dups from one or the other
Then possibly merge the two
- shouldn't be necessary, but at least you'll have all restored files in one directory tree
(I'd merge into the latter directory.)

Then when you scan against

C:\Dale\Documents\
&
C:\Carb Restore\

You can select all the dups in the C:\Carb Restore\ directory tree.
[Mark all files found in this folder tree]

Whatever is then left in C:\Carb Restore\ would then be used to recover against missing (or possibly corrupt if existing) files in C:\Dale\Documents\.


(I'm not familiar with Duplicate Folder, so not sure if that would help any?)

Thanks for the step-by-step outline; it will help me get through my list more efficiently.
