What do you use and why?
I'm having a problem with trial copy of Tri-Backup. It quits after every 30 GB of copying. However it does remember where it left off! When I used the Activity monitor app to see what was happening, I discovered that the software gradually recruits real physical memory for it's use, increasing at a constant rate. when it hits about 2.7 GB, it crashes!!!
So to copy 900 GB of files from hard drive with 900 GB to a brand new 3 TB drive, there have been 14 crashes just to get to 400 GB!
No other software was active on the desktop but certain programs has acquired 1-2 GB for some work. One was Techtool Pro which wasn't running and had taken 2.5 GB! So I killed these processes and a bunch more and then I was able to get the program to keep going from an average of 30 GB before crashing to about 60 GB. It still crashes but lasts longer. Except right this second,: it crashed again, this time after just about 4 GB transfer!
Any ideas and what do you use?
