I have several external hard drives, a 1 TB and 2 500's. I would like to put the data on the 1 TB onto the 2 500's and vice versa. I request a small app that will
exchange data between the drives. It would be a big pain in the rear end to get another drive to act as the intermediate while I copy and paste.

After having a hard drive die on me and finding out that I didn't know what I all had on it, I would like a program that allows you to select a hard drive, copies the folder structure of that drive, and copies all the files on the hard drive into the copied folder structure, but without copying any data, just blank files with the same filename and extension.

This would allow me to compress it all into a tiny zip file, then if I lose a drive, I can unzip my backup, and browse through the drive folders and see what files I need to go about getting.

Is there any reason a text file of some kind with the directory/file structure woulnd't be preferable?

A text file would be fine, if it listed all the files on the drive, and was layed out in a way that I could easily understand where the file is and what folder I am currently looking at. I am not sure how you would do this with a text file though, and not to mention, a terabyte drive with thousands of files layed out in a text file would be a bit tedious to browse/find stuff in.
