Hi,

I was just wandering if there is any software that people use for copying large amounts of data, or whether you just drag and drop/copy and paste with Finder?
All input is appreciated!

Believe it or not, I actually use a program called Robocopy, which is part of the Windows resource kit, running under VMWare Fusion. Robocopy is short for "Robust File Copy" and it does an awesome job at mirroring entire directories. It can be cumbersome to learn to use, but once you do, nothing I've seen in the Mac world can match it.

I'll be interested to see what others say, as this is kind of a kludgy solution (but it does work!).
