Welcome to the forum @Artur2048 > [@Artur2048](#): > > show complete list of SOURCE filenames with full paths. Although a button would be nicer, you can get a list of full source paths in a backup using `list` command either from [Commandline](https://duplicati.readthedocs.io/en/latest/03-using-the-graphical-user-interface/#using-the-command-line-tools-from-within-the-graphical-user-interface) in the web UI, or from [your OS command line](https://duplicati.readthedocs.io/en/latest/04-using-duplicati-from-the-command-line/) where sending it to file is simpler. [The FIND command](https://duplicati.readthedocs.io/en/latest/04-using-duplicati-from-the-command-line/#the-find-command) describes this. Basically, you use the wildcard `*` if you want all the pathnames listed. Simple sample output: ```plaintext Listing contents 0 (6/25/2020 5:03:37 PM): C:\backup source\short.txt (7 bytes) Return code: 0 ``` Although a button would be nicer, [The COMPARE command](https://duplicati.readthedocs.io/en/latest/04-using-duplicati-from-the-command-line/#the-compare-command) can show you the added / modified / deleted. Simple sample output: ![image](https://forum.duplicati.com/uploads/default/original/2X/c/c772164591e5db7dbff090104d814f2a1c2a000c.png) ```plaintext Listing changes 1: 6/27/2020 8:10:01 AM 0: 6/27/2020 8:10:50 AM Size of backup 1: -1 bytes 1 added entries: + C:\tmp\compare\file3.txt 2 modified entries: ~ C:\tmp\compare\ ~ C:\tmp\compare\file2.txt 1 deleted entries: - C:\tmp\compare\file1.txt Added files: 1 Deleted files: 1 Modified folders: 1 Modified files: 1 Size of backup 0: 7 bytes Return code: 0 ``` So there’s your added / modified / deleted. I don’t think `Examined` and `Opened` are logged directly, because backup records are on what was backed up, not what wasn’t. With no filtering, Examined seems like it will be close to the list of all files mentioned earlier. `Opened` is a check for changes. Goes `Modified` if it was… `compare` command does become harder to use for something other than the two most recent backups, as you need to tell it what you want, and might need to read the [restore](https://duplicati.readthedocs.io/en/latest/03-using-the-graphical-user-interface/#restoring-files-from-a-backup) dropdown to find the version numbers: ![image](https://forum.duplicati.com/uploads/default/original/2X/8/89084ee079195e6fc434aa581e9c0d5a1fbd3e37.png) Above are available right now. Maybe they’ll help you some until a nice user inteface enhancement is done. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.duplicati.com/t/backup-detailed-summary-file-list/10156)._
