Data Hoarder

We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

Do you think setting teracopy as the default copy paste tool is a smart idea? Even if it is not for large file transfers?

Absolutely, just make sure you enable the 'always verify' option. When you cut/paste or move files, teracopy will make sure the files are identical (via checksum verification) before deleting them from the original location. Extremely useful.

I also disabled 'always on top' because I just find that annoying.

I see a "always test after copy" in misc. settings not "always verify" could that be it?
