I have maintained backups of my old computers over the years, and they are on one of my current PC's hard drives. Sometimes I was using multiple computers at the same time and they were never synchronized (and therefore have different folder structures sometimes), but had some of the same data on each computer.

I'd like to merge all of my backups together (probably with my current PC's file system) and eliminate the duplicates. What's the best methodology for doing this? Are there tools for this?
