Recently a 1 TB hard drive died on me which was not backed up.
It was a storage drive and any important data on it was backed up so I don't care that much that it died.
However, I am upset that I don't know what exactly was lost, so I don't know what I now need to re-backup or re-install or re-download.
I am wondering if there is a disk indexing software, that instead of making a disk backup, would create just a list of files on my system with file names, file size, date modified, ect.
Such that if I loose a drive, I can see what was lost and know what I need to do.
The advantage is that I expect this index to take up nearly no space compared to full backups.
Thanks.
