Copies a drive. Never loses its place.

What it does

• Pause any time — the state is saved; closing the window is safe.
• Stops by accident? Power cut, disk unplugged — run it again the same way and it continues.
• No half files — each file is written to .fcpart and renamed only when complete.
• Nothing forgotten — files that could not be copied go on a list and are retried on the next run.
• Verify — optional hash check of every file after copying.

How to run it

1. Download FastCopy.exe (2.0 MB, Windows 10 / 11, 64-bit) from the file list, then double-click it.
2. Browse to the folder to copy from — for example D:\
3. Browse to the folder to copy to — for example E:\backup
4. Tick Verify every file if you want each copy checked; keep Skip files already copied on.
5. Press Start copy and watch the log. Pause holds it; press again to continue.

The .exe is downloaded from the Application portal. Only an administrator account can download it.

Reports it writes

Every job leaves its own files in %LOCALAPPDATA%\FastCopy\:

• job-xxxxxxxx.csv — a table of every file: status, size, from, to, time
• job-xxxxxxxx.csv.rtf — the same table with failed rows in red
• job-xxxxxxxx.failed.txt — one path per line, for the next attempt
• job-xxxxxxxx.state.json — what is already done (do not delete while copying)

A red row means the file could not be copied; the last column says why — locked by another program, no permission, path too long, disk full, bad sector.

From a script

FastCopy.exe -src D:\ -dst E:\backup -verify

One job file per source and destination pair, so different drives never mix. If a file changed after it was copied, it is copied again. Files still being written by another program show as failed, not as copied. Use it only on drives you own or administer.
