How to merge 2 folders with 'only' the newest version of files ?

Dears

Due to a mess up in mapping, a user in my domain was working for few days on his backup homefolder instead of his "live" homefolder.
So now I have 2 folders for that users with some file newer than other but in both ways...
How can I re-merge them and get a folder that has all his newest version of each file ?
PS: He has many sub-folders and his homefolder is around 20Gb.

Thank you.

I use Beyond Compare (Scooter Software). It is a good folder compare tool that will let you easily see the differences in files.
whatever you do - keep Always a backup - and work from a copy; to avoid deleting too much (what happened to me)

You can use Total commander and synchronize dir option.
