Hello everyone

I am using the GUI and I am wondering what the best solution is for the following scenario:

I copy big folders with tens of GB and hundreds or even thousands of files from one drive to another. The verify option is enabled and after finishing there are a few verify errors.
Now I would like to copy those files where the verification failed again to make sure the copy is the exact same set of files.

How do I instruct FastCopy to just repeat the operation on those files where it failed? Is there a good way beside doing it manually? I couldn't find any mention of this.

Much thanks for any answers and best regards,
Joel Busch

in v3.11, if verify error occurs, error file will be renamed to (fname).fc_verify_err.
So you retry diff copy process, all files except error files will be skipped and error files will be copied.

If you want to set extracted error files, it requires to parse previous filelog. (by script or etc)

Oh thank you that is great. Perhaps I can just seach for that string that is appended to the file names to get rid of the broken files. Otherwise I might look into making a script. Thanks for the explanation
