Hi all! I’ve been transferring a bunch of stuff from my portable harddrives to my synology. After transferring using Synology’s file transfer and connecting the harddrive directly, I’ve completed a handful. I started worrying about the file integrity of these transfers since synology really doesn’t tell you what files failed and etc. So I started using Teracopy to transfer all the files instead. Can I use Teracopy to verify files that are already transferred that didn’t use Teracopy?
Like plug harddrive into PC, and then “Source F:\” and “Target Nas location” and click verify. Does that work… sorry very new to data hoarding. Thanks in advanced

    I am sure any failed write or read operation on the NAS will be presented to the OS mounting that network drive, and then to the application doing the copy or whatever other operation.

    Not sure if this file manager has a “compare” feature (I guess it should?) but Far Manager (free and open source) for example does it with F11/Advanced Compare/select also “contents”, maybe also “Display a message if no differences were found” and let it run (it takes of course longer than just checking date and/or size).
