Have you tried rsync?
Can it resume interrupted writes?
Heck to the yeah. I usually run
rsync -av src/ dst/
Which is verbose and archive mode (keeps mod times, user, etc). You can also add -P for progress.
Here is the man page https://linux.die.net/man/1/rsync
If it gets interrupted, just run that same command again.
Edit: also it's usually preinstalled on every Linux distro and should be easy to install for Windows too.
Woah, that's amazing! Can't believe I've been sleeping on it for so long
By the way,
--info=progress2will show a total progress information.
