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.

If you're interested in a license for Teracopy, an easy to use GUI tool for transferring and validating files and generating checksums of your data, there is a sale going on currently.

Just use code "BLACK-FRIDAY"

https://codesector.com/teracopy

Total cost in USD is $14.98 per license. One license covers one user on multiple PC's or multiple users on one PC.

I prefer free open-source tools, but this is a good utility to have if you transfer lots of data regularly.
