It took 2 more hours than it should have to copy 125GB

Have you tried rsync?
Can it resume interrupted writes?
Heck to the yeah. I usually run
rsync -av src/ dst/
Which is verbose and archive mode (keeps mod times, user, etc). You can also add -P for progress.
Here is the man page https://linux.die.net/man/1/rsync
If it gets interrupted, just run that same command again.
Edit: also it’s usually preinstalled on every Linux distro and should be easy to install for Windows too.
Woah, that’s amazing! Can’t believe I’ve been sleeping on it for so long
By the way,
--info=progress2will show a total progress information.I feel like rsync may genuinely be one of the best, most slept on tools out there. It even works over ssh.
I like to add --ignore-existing to it aswell in case it gets interrupted. Useful when it’s a timed backup or similar
If it doesn’t ignore existing by default, what’s the difference between that and plain old copy?
OP never heard of rsync
Dudes over here copying a single 125 GB file
Time for a new USB cable 😅
