Allow to resume file transfer after drive reconnection

Post by *bzemer »

Hi,
I have a hard drive that tends to disconnect and reconnect sometimes on its own when I transfer a large amount of data.
It will be great if TC will allow resuming file transfer after connection loses, and even better - automatic resuming, if possible, for when I'm not around to confirm.

I attached a screen grab of the dialogue box I get (this is with background/ queue transfer).

As far as I know, CopyFileEx has resume feature (COPY_FILE_RESTARTABLE of dwFlags parameter), but I tried it long time ago, and it didn't work. I don't know why (may be I did something wrong), but I guess you need to dig in that direction.

Have you tried to copy files with Background Transfer Manager (F5+F2)? You can set max transfer speed there. If you lower the speed, the HDD probably won't (overheat and) disconnect.
You should also check physical HDD connection and Power Saving options in Windows…

COPY_FILE_RESTARTABLE didn't work for me either...
