RE: [Avid-L2] Re: How to scan a drive (redo with TeraCopy, correct?)

I'd like to throw in my vote for Teracopy. I also tried Richcopy by microsoft but found it overly complicated (or myself overly simple!) and also much slower than i had expected considering it's supposed to run copies in parallel. Teracopy was super fast, especially over eSata from one G-Raid to another. We recently backed up around 700GB of project media for a client to two G-Raids from our ISIS and it was very painless. The CRC check after also adds a nice level of security. The only thing i would have liked was a clearer report. You can create a report that can be read in a text editor but it's mainly gobbledegook. It would be nice to provide the client with a .txt file which says something like "15,000 files copied, 15,000 files verified by CRC check" so they can be sure they have everything. I suppose i could just write that in a text file! but it would seem nicer coming from the actual program. Kinda like headed paper! I will use it from now on whenever i do any type of large copying job and it will live on my trusty USB thumbdrive henceforth :-)

why not simply copy them AGAIN

with TeraCopy,

that will overwrite the files already there, correct?

seems to be nearly effortless
