Capa Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Just wondering if anyone can recommend software for copying files over to another drive. I just bought a bigger hard drive and I'm afraid of getting the windows file path name too long errors. So more looking for something that will copy everything over and trust worthy. Specially with all the work and time I've put in so far. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AxelTerizaki Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Supercopier beta 2 is what I use when I need to copy files. For backup purposes, I use clonezilla and backup my HS setup to my NAS (takes about 2,5 Tb) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gigapig Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 How big is it? Why not use an online back up, I use Dropbox but have 1TB of storage. If your just backing up Hyperspin you don't need much and as your platinum you don't need to be concerned about the media. Once backed up just copy and paste over to the new drive, is there usually problems with copy and paste? Like Hazzard Actual I also use Acronis but only to create an OS image, I suppose I could use it to compress Hyperspin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capa Posted February 27, 2015 Author Share Posted February 27, 2015 I'am more so copying/moving my set up files from a 1.5tb drive to a 5tb drive. Just wanna make sure everything gets copy over to the 5tb. evene if the file name paths are to long. I'll eventually use something like clonezilla to make a backup on my 8tb.

Styphelus Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 I recently did this. I just copied everything over from D:\Hyperspin to H:\Hyperspin. Worked like a charm. Did not get any long file name errors. Had the change some paths after but that was it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whirlybird7 Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 I just switched from a 2TB drive to a 6TB drive. After hooking my new HD in my current computer, I right clicked the Hyperspin folder, clicked copy, opened the new drive, right clicked again, hit paste, and all was good after a few hours.
