It’s just a one-off transfer, I’m not planning to stop the transfer, and it’s my media library, so nothing should change, but I figured something resumable is a good idea for a transfer that’s going to take 12+ hours, in case there’s an unplanned stop.

One thing I forgot to mention:
rsynchas an option to preserve file timestamps, so if that’s important for your files, then thst might also be useful… without checking, the other commands probably have that feature, but I don’t recall at the moment.rsync -Prvt <source> <destination>might be something to try, leave for a minute, stop and retry … that’ll prove it’s all working.Oh… and make sure you get the source and destination paths correct with a trailing
/(or not), otherwise you’ll get all your files copied to an extra subfolder (or not)
