Alternatives to XCOPY for very large directories?

[heintze]

I have constant trouble with XCOPY/s for multi-gigabyte transfers. The first trick was to turn off the sleep feature.

I need a utility like XCOPY/S that remembers where it left off if I reboot. Is there such a utility? How about a free utility (free as in free beer)?

How about an md5sum sanity check too?

Thanks
Siegfried

Take a look at TeraCopy...

I tried your suggestion and downloaded teracopy. Instead, it wanted me to install a downloader.

I got badly infected the last time I installed a downloader.

Is it possible to get teracopy without using a downloader?

Thanks

Siegfried,

strange, when I click the link I had provided and then go to DOWNLOADS, and click any of the locations (US or EUR) it gives me the direct download of said application...
(I use FF with NoScript)...

Here is another link, from Heise.de, see if you are asked to install a downloader there as well, if that is the case then start scanning your PC for malware...

Try Robocopy from the MS Server tookit. You don't have to be running server 2003 to use it.

I also advocate robocopy, but...

I need a utility like XCOPY/S that remembers where it left off if I reboot.

Not exactly, but it doesn't recopy anything that it copied so you don't do any extra work or lose time.

How about an md5sum sanity check too?

Not NATIVE to Robocopy, but..........

>from the MS Server tookit

Robocopy has been included with Microsoft's OSs since Vista. Itis certainly included in Windows 7.

Personally, I have a slight preference for Microsoft's RichCopy (although its main secret weapon - multithreaded copying - was added to Robocopy for the windows 7 version)

Zcopy used to be good.

Never give up never give in.

There are no short cuts to anything worth doing
