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.
 
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"
