The first uncompressed file was 51.6 GB in size. Since I wasn't seeing much of a performance boost with FastCopy, I then tested with uncompressed files. FastCopy was only about 7% faster.īoth of the above tests were done on compressed files.
Using the normal Windows copy method, the 11.7 GB file copied across the WAN in 55 minutes. I then tried copying an 11.7 GB file in a different environment, one where file copies seem to take forever over the WAN. FastCopy was about 16% faster than the Windows copy method. Using FastCopy, it copied in 1 hour and 53 minutes. Using the Windows copy method, the 35.8 GB file was successfully copied across the WAN in 2 hours and 15 minutes. I had heard about FastCopy, which claims to be the fastest Windows copy product, so I decided to do comparison tests. The database is about 110 GB in size, but since we use Quest's LiteSpeed product, the full backup is just 35.8 GB in size. Recently I had to setup database mirroring for a largish database, so I needed to copy the full backup to the mirror server. It does not work as a real transfer replacement for Windows and has to leave that field to Teracopy though.If you've ever had to copy large files on a Windows platform using the Windows copy method (copy/paste in Windows Explorer or copy/xcopy commands), then you know how slow it is. Closing Wordsįast Copy in its current version can be used in batch files because of its command line parameters and to copy large amount of files. It explains every feature and option the program ships with, and can be opened with a click on the question mark icon at any time. The help file the program ships with is excellent. It lacks a few of the features that TeraCopy comes with like a queue that offers options to skip files or pause the process. The command line options might make it usable for batch files that use file operations. If you want alternate streams to be copied all the time, then you can configure the program to do so. While you get access to many of these features in the main interface, the options allow you to make permanent changes to these preferences. Enable ACL (Access Control List) copying.Select a different hash mode for copy verification.Change the number of maximum parallel processes.Enable wipe & delete mode to make sure deleted files cannot be recovered.
