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=progress2 will show a total progress information.
