Hi,
I have an interesting one.
We had a file restore go wrong a couple months ago, which resulted in a variety of files to end up as 0 byte files. The file names are all intact, they are just 0 byte files and do not open.
I have a backup that I am trying to restore from, and I want to use Vice Versa to compare the source directory (my backup folder) and the target directory (contains many random 0 byte files).
Here is my dilemma: I ONLY want to copy over the corresponding files from the source that have existing files in the target that are zero byte files.
The file names will have the same name and timestamp, just the source file has good data and the target folder has 0 byte files.
for example: Source: FolderName\Subfolder\Filename.pdf (Date modified: 11/1/2019 Size: 4KB) Destination: FolderName\Subfolder\Filename.pdf (Date modified: 11/1/2019 Size: 0KB)
Basically, is there a way I can have Vice Versa look for files with 0 bytes in the target, and then match those files with the ones in the source?
Thanks!

Hi, what about timestamps for those 0 size files that need to be overwritten in target? Are they newer or older than the source? thanks
