[DISCUSSION] TeraCopy

Thanks, for the helpful info about Teracopy.
Could you make a comparison between Teracopy and another 2 alternatives (GoodSync and Gs Richcopy 360 ) to show my client, we need a Copy tool that is reliable, robust, and fast to copy large amounts of files from Windows server 2019 to Windows server 2022

Thanks

 

Goodsync is a mirror utility
Compare it to goodsync ? ..

yes, compare it to Goodsync

 

is like comparing between \x\copy to RoboCopy
but fine ... if it is the same thing .. whatever

Mirror will make sure that the destination folder -
is completely the same as the source.

Since when teracopy is a mirroring tool? just ask yourself.

 

I do not think of Teracopy as a tool for "mirroring". For that, I use RoboCopy. I use Teracopy from within File Explorer when I am moving a large file or directory structure, as it is much faster than using Windows itself. Also, when I am cleaning up one of my local hard drives, and moving files /directories from the local drive to an offline storage location I use Teracopy not only because it is faster, but because it "stages" the moves. If you use Explorer, then it will try to run the operations in parallel, which is a very bad idea. Teracopy will stage the operations, think serial rather than parallel, one operation at a time.

 

I use teracopy for copying or moving and synchback free for mirroring.Both are great softs and are free,I do not require the Pro versions of either.

 

I just received a popup offering to update Teracopy to a new version, 3.11, so I of course accepted. Bad move. Memory allocation errors, file access errors, flat won’t work. I uninstalled with Revo, cleaned up the remains, rebooted, downloaded from the author’s website – same results. Scanned my computer with Malwarebytes, nothing found. Uninstalled Teracopy, again, cleaned up all remnants, rebooted, downloaded the last version 3.10 from MajorGeeks.



During the install of 3.10, the installer offered to fetch a newer version (3.11), and I declined. Installation of 3.10 continued, successfully, and I am now running 3.10 once again, with no errors.



This could be just something on my computer, but you have been warned. YMMV.

It's supposed to do also that, but personally I use the good old synctoys, that never failed to me

3.12 is a replacement for 3.11 released yesterday people were having to revert to 3.10 after installing 3.11. even the file hosted by Teracopy is messed up.

 

Yes, but there's not a changelog for 3.11, either. They must have added or changed something (to) it.

 

May be there soon.
