When it comes to moving any kind of files, whether for backup,<br>
relocation or pretty much any kind of large scale movement, I rely on<br>
rsync rather than cp, mv, or Thunar. It is safer and less prone to<br>
failure, and it leaves behind whatever files you didn't finish copying<br>
in hidden files with similar names for your own recovery or disposal<br>
later.<br>
<br>
Yes, it is not as convenient as mv (you have to go through and delete<br>
the original files if your intent was to move them), or as<br>
GUI-oriented as anything in Thunar, but it is like most of the<br>
underlying Linux we all love - rock solid and reliable beyond compare.<br>
It is also flexible enough to work across networks.<br>
<br>
The maze of rsync options can be confusing, but the simplest form<br>
which I regularly use is 'rsync -av --progress <src-list> <dest>.'<br>
This preserves date-time stamps, links, ownerships and permissions.<br>
The only real trick is mastering how to specify directories with or<br>
without the trailing separator.<br>
<br>
YMMV.<br>
