As such, it has the ability to retry the copying of a file a number of times and if it continues to fail to copy a file, the program will log the damaged file and then skip the damaged file and move on.
LONG PATH TOOL FREEWARE DOWNLOAD
First, the program was designed as a data recovery tool (in fact if you visit their website, you will find the download page under Data Recovery).
In the case of a failing drive, this might be impossible.Īfter a little bit of research, we discovered Unstoppable Copier which solved a lot of problems for us. This usually occurred in the Temporary Internet files folders which meant we had to do clean up on the old drive prior to executing the copy procedure. It doesn’t skip the file, it doesn’t continue, it just stops cold. However, increasingly Xcopy was becoming unusable because when a path+filename exceeds 256 characters Xcopy dies. We often have to move large amounts of data from old hard drives to new hard drives either because a client is upgrading to a new computer/OS or because a hard drive is failing.įor years, we preferred to use Xcopy from the command prompt over dragging and dropping files in Windows Explorer because in our opinion Xcopy seemed to be faster when copying large numbers of files. For some years now, I’ve been a big fan of RoadKil’s Unstoppable Copier utility which is an easy to use tool to copy or move files from any drive to another drive.
