There’s a place in your computer life for using file to file backup — but not instead of full drive image backups. But for things like photos, music, documents and videos, keeping a quickly accessible backup folder is a good idea. But if you’ve ever tried copying, say 14GB of data from one place to another in Windows, you know it’s a painfully slow process which consumes an inordinate amount of resources.
We went looking for a really fast way to copy files when we were helping one of our Cloudeight Direct customers copy his Documents and Pictures folders from one drive to another. Thats when we found Teracopy, tested it, and now we’re sold on it (how can you be sold on something free?). It works great and TeraCopy adds functions to you right-click menu.
We couldn’t say it any better than the developer — so let’s let the developer do the typing!
One of the most common complaints about newer versions of Windows is the slow copying speed, especially when transferring lots of files over the network. If you want to speed up your copying or if you regularly transfer large amounts of data and have to stop the process to perform some other disk-intensive task, this program may be just what you need.
TeraCopy is designed to copy and move files at the maximum possible speed. It skips bad files during the copying process, and then displays them at the end of the transfer so that you can see which ones need attention. TeraCopy can automatically check the copied files for errors by calculating their CRC checksum values. It also provides a lot more information about the files being copied than its Windows counterpart. TeraCopy integrates with Windows Explorer’s right-click menu and can be set as the default copy handler.
Copy files faster
TeraCopy uses dynamically adjusted buffers to reduce the seek times. Asynchronous copying speeds up the file transfer between two physical hard drives.
Pause and resume file transfer activities
Pause the copy process at any time in order to free up system resources and continue with a single click.
Error recovery
In case of a copy error, TeraCopy will try several times to recover and, in the worse case scenario, will simply skip the file, not terminating the entire transfer.
Interactive file list
TeraCopy shows the failed file transfers and lets you fix the problem and recopy only the problem files.
Shell integration
TeraCopy can completely replace the Explorer copy and move functions, in turn enabling you to work with files as usual.
Full Unicode support.
Windows 8 x64 support.
If you do a lot of copying and/or moving files you’ll love TeraCopy. You can read more about and/or download TeraCopy from here.
TerraCopy works on Windows XP, Windows Vista (32/64 bit) Windows 7 (32/64 bit), Windows 8 (32/64 bit)
This TeraCopy sounds interesting, however since my Notepad fled the scene & I haven’t been able to get it back where it belongs. I was wondering if this TeraCopy could be used the way that notepad was, that is to copy and paste than print material in the same matter.
Also have a key I purchased this past March 11th for Cloudeight Direct computer service I would desparately like to make an appointment for at your convience, it’s a mess and really needs straightened out.

Notepad can’t be removed from Windows so it’s still there, only its icon is missing. Press the Windows Key plus the R key to open the run dialog – type NOTEPAD.EXE and press Enter.
TO make a new shortcut to Notepad, browse to C:\Windows\System32 and find Notepad.exe. Right-click it and choose “Send to” and choose “Desktop” as the destination. You can then drag the icon from your desktop to your start menu, or Quick Launch toolbar (Windows XP) or taskbar (Windows 7) — or just leave it on your desktop.
