[QUOTE="frisbeefodder, post: 649601, member: 53507"] Hi guys, I just installed tiger and am moving some data from a backup hard drive. Is there a way move a folder's additional contents without replacing the existing contents, for example: Destination folder: Root folder --- Content folder 1 --- Content folder 2 --- Content folder 3 --- Content folder 4 Folder to replace root folder but without overwriting existing contents: Root folder --- Content folder 1 (Copying additional files without overwriting the contents of existing folder) --- Content folder 2 (Copying additional files without overwriting the contents of existing folder) --- Content folder 5 --- Content folder 7 The folders are too complex for me to do this manually, some directories contain thousands of files and sub folders, I know there is a shortcut or method but I can't find it anywhere.
