Are you PC or Mac?
If PC, then consider RichCopy - an unadvertised Microsoft shareware application. Info at:

It copies (multiple files in parallel) and verifies. It will compare, using a variety of parameters, so that it only copies files that have changed. It will work over a network.
It generates an error log if it is unsuccessful in xfering files after x number of tries.
I use it regularly to backup projects, and just last week migrated my music and sound fx libraries to two different drives with much peace of mind.
