I use iMazing on PC in order to backup all of my iOS devices for the sake of picture/video preservation. Unfortunately, I just found out from the devs that their software relies on hardlinks for its backup/archiving and backups can become corrupted if hardlinks aren't preserved when moving backup files. Is there a software that can compare two copies of files/folders and make sure that hardlinks are identical between them? I have Beyond Compare 5, but I'm not seeing anything I can do on that level.
Up to this point I had been backing up to my desktop and copy/pasting the backups to my NAS. I would double check the copy process with Beyond Compare, but apparently that wouldn't catch this? I'm worried I screwed up some of these backups and there's no going back (devices are gone).
