What's the best program to copy around 600GB of data (>20,000 files) from a NAS drive onto a shared folder on a file server? I want a program that will queue errors with transfers or long file names to the end of the job and not stop everything like the Microsoft file transfer system. OS is Windows 7 Pro x64.

Thanks.

I would say anything like teracopy, or xxcopy, robocopy would probably do it.

With xxcopy(cmd line) you can setup the switches so that it will give you a log of the errors.
Which might be easier to view any errors in xxcopy.

With Teracopy you can set it to verify and it will check md5 hashes to verify

Ooh thanks for this thread, I will be giving Teracopy a try for a large overnight transfer!

Also, I wanted to mention that Windows 8 provides smart handling of the file copy issues, and will queue the issues to the end of the job. So it will wait till after copying all the good files before it prompts you whether you want to click OK or whatever (along with the checkbox to apply that choice to all remaining files). So it's better than before. But I really like how Teracopy can verify the CRC of each file etc., pretty awesome.

Thanks for the recommendations. I used Teracopy and although I did not think the UI is particularly intuitive, the program worked fine, checked all the CRC's and gave me a list of failed transfers at the end for me to manually address.

Thanks.
