TeraCopy
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- There is software that will retain this information such as TeraCopy or RoboCopy on Windows.
- I use teracopy. Copy to whatever drives, never move. Make sure verify is on and completes successfully. Save the hash.
- There's numerous programs to perform a checksum and generate a HASH. I use and recommend Teracopy.
- Use something like TeraCopy, or md5sum, or any other tool like this to generate checksums, especially when it is a collection of files that you will rarely modify yourself, like an archive of past photos.
- Always transfer/copy with teracopy or something that hash verifies the copy was successful.
Cons
- one could run a script eg robo copy or use their gui, or teracopy.
- teracopy just crashes and apparently finds hidden files that don’t actually exist ??
- Is there a copy method (currently I use TeraCopy) to verify files on copy? TeraCopy has built in verificaton but it doesn't make a hash file in the end which would I prefer.

I second using TeraCopy, it's a great program.
If you are on Windows, I would suggest using TeraCopy. You can verify file moves and copying. You can also save parity data in files to be able to re-verify the data files using the parity data.
Parent context: Teracopy might do the trick Reply: Yes found it. TeraCopy can save the checksum file in the end.
