On that note, across numerous computers and OSs, and network schemes,
and file managing programs, I've always found that sort of thing to
happen.  

It's meant that I've given up on doing backups on/with large storage
devices, because it *always* cocks up, and it's a big pain in the neck
to try and sort out which files got skipped, aborted, partially
transferred, or corrupted.

If I want to copy, say a few thousand files, I have to spend hours
manually selecting batches of no more than a few hundred files at a
time.  I have NEVER got this to work well.
