Miroirs

Miroirs is a straightforward piece of software that gives you the possibility to duplicate empty directory structures from a given location. You can also include the files if you want to carry out a full copy operation. The app doesn't include complicated options or configuration parameters, so it can be handled even by less experienced users.

The installation procedure doesn't take long. Although this is not mentioned anywhere, Miroirs requires .NET Framework installed. As far as the interface goes, it adopts a small window with a clear-cut structure, where it lists all options available.

In order to duplicate a directory structure with default settings, all you have to do is indicate the source and target, and click a button to trigger the task. Since we're talking about empty folders, this action is performed quickly.

If you want to change the default configuration, you can ask the utility to include files in the copying operation, as well as as to automatically delete any existing files or folders in the target location before initializing the task. Apart from the fact that you can cancel tasks, there are no other notable options.

The software application worked smoothly throughout our tests, without causing the operating system to hang, crash or prompt error messages. It had minimal impact on the overall performance of the machine, running on low CPU and memory, and copy jobs were carried out fast.

Although it doesn't integrate richer options and configuration settings, such as the ability to limit the subfolder depth level, Miroirs offers a simple and effective solution for duplicating directory structures, with or without the containing files, regardless of how many subfolders exist. It may comes in handy for general file management.
