My harddrive is corrupt, and many files are corrupt. However, many are not, and I'd like to back up everything I can to an external. The external is also full of import files for work, so I can't wipe it or anything. I want to do this promptly in case the internal is on it's last leg.
If I try to copy files manually, every time it hits a corrupted file, I get error 36 and it stops copying the rest of the files. I don't know how to use scripts, and someone said Carbon Copy Cloner would do it, but I'm afraid of overwriting stuff that's on the other harddrive that might accidentally have the same name, or just in general. It won't let me specify to a folder.
How can I copy these files, skipping the corrupt ones, before the harddrive craps completely?
