Search Duplicate Files in Multiple Disks or Directories

DupScout is capable of searching duplicate files in a number of disks, directories or network shares. In order to detect duplicate files in multiple locations, open the duplicate files search profile dialog and specify all the disks, directories and/or network shares that should be processed.

Search Duplicate Files in Multiple Disks

By default, DupScout will process all the specified locations sequentially, one after one. When processing directories located on different physical disks or different computers, it may be more effective to process all the specified locations simultaneously.

Duplicate Files Search Advanced Options

In order to process all the specified locations in parallel, open the duplicate files search options dialog, select the 'Advanced' tab and specify the number of parallel processing threads for the duplicate files search operation.
