File Lists for BackUp

Does anyone know of any good software that will automatically create a list of all files on my drives on a daily schedule so if one drive was to die, I know what files I have lost?

Code:

dir/s c:\ d:\ e:\ f:\

That example is for a PC with four partitions. For a PC with just one big "C:\" partition it would be:

Code:

dir/s c:\

You can make a batch file and run it as a scheduled task.

Use Allway sync and copy the files to another drive. That way you won't use anything
This just works for data files BTW. You could use Acronis true image to copy your install.

I ended up making a batch file with the following:

Code:

tree C:\ /f /a > "C:\Users\*****\Documents\File Lists\C.txt"
tree D:\ /f /a > "C:\Users\*****\Documents\File Lists\D.txt"
tree E:\ /f /a > "C:\Users\*****\Documents\File Lists\E.txt"
tree F:\ /f /a > "C:\Users\*****\Documents\File Lists\F.txt"
tree G:\ /f /a > "C:\Users\*****\Documents\File Lists\G.txt"
tree H:\ /f /a > "C:\Users\*****\Documents\File Lists\H.txt"
