Compare two folders and create ZIP

[wozencl]

Hi, I am looking for a tool or set of tools that can accomplish the following:

-Compare two folders
-Log any files that are present in one but not the other.
-Add these files to a ZIP archive and retain path information.

The hope is I can then extract the contents of the ZIP to the second folder and have an exact copy of the first. I'd considered writing a VBScript to do it but would rather save myself some time if I can.

Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Copy folder A to folder B and then copy folder B to folder A. Let Windows sort it out.

If the two folders aren't visible on one PC simultaneously just copy one of them to a USB stick or HD.
