Improving on Copy/ Paste
A few days ago I had to copy ~700GB of backed up data from one hard drive to another in preparation for a critical RAID 1 rebuild. The RAID 1 array was originally built with Western Digital 1TB WD1001FALS drives, but both HDDs gave out with disturbing consistency so perhaps it's time to migrate back to Seagate... but I digress.
To Copy this much data with Windows built-in file copy program isn't possible; just one protected system file in the mix will stop the whole process with a "Windows couldn't copy this file" error. Normally, you can get around this by copying small groups of folders and weeding out the bad file(s). There's also an issue when trying to move several million files at once, Windows parses all the data first and if there's too much the process slows to a crawl.
To do this ~700GB, several million file copy with the least involvement on my part required a little program called TeraCopy. With TeraCopy I can 1) stage groups of folders to copy sequentially so the buffers aren't blown out, 2) if an error is encountered the program is smart enough to retry or just skip the file without terminating the entire transfer. If an error occurs it will report which files failed to transfer at the end.
The program runs transparently in Window 32/64-bit operating systems, meaning when you Copy or Paste a file it automatically kicks in. TeraCopy will also allow you to pause or resume file transfers and has a few other nifty optimizations. All I really care about is that it took 5 or 6 hours to successfully complete this massive file transfer while I focused on other tasks. Instead of baby sitting the process all the way through, it just got done!

A BSOD will strike every Windows PC at least once. PCSTATS lays out the ground rules to fixing the problems that can cause a Blue Screen of Death. Or, you can just reinstall your ENTIRE PC... it's your choice! If you've ever used Windows, chances are you've experienced the lovely shade of blue associated with the famous Windows Stop Error or 'Blue Screen of Death.' This frequent, although less so in newer operating systems, error occurs whenever Windows senses a software, hardware or driver error which will not allow it to continue operating properly. In other words, it happens all the time, for all sorts of reasons. In this article PCSTATS will walk you through the BSOD in many of its most familiar incarnations. ----- Dette er kopier fra deres newsletter jeg fik pr mail d.d., og jeg vil sandelig ikke undvære dem.
