I consult and provide sys-admin services for a mid-size school, and an ongoing issue we're experiencing is students using the various capabilities of the Opera Browser to bypass most of the network and application. Hi All, I've a bit of an interesting one. Block Opera Browser for Education Client Security.It'd be great if there was a program for this and if it could show file transfer size etc that'd be even better! Most users understand a folder full of junk and can handle this. Home users especially are too confused by this and an image is not easily searchable. I DON"T want to clone it and make an image. Is there something similar to robocopy or something that I could run that says "copy everything from H to C and I mean everything".

It's saved much more work than going back to a location, firing up something etc etc.ĪNYWAY, that's all the build up to my question. :) Not to worry, we just search their "old drive" folder and viola. Isn't that a waste of time you ask? Well sure it adds some but you can't imagine the number of times people will say something like "Oh I had a document I save in c:\someinsanedirectoryyouwouldhavenevercopiedifyouwereanormalpersonĪnd I can't find it anywhere. One thing I've always done is copy the ENTIRE old hard drive to the new pc. Sometimes for home users, sometimes businesses.

In the near future I'm thinking of setting up Free File Sync to handle the syncing, but I still need to research and test it out more, and I'm not sure how it handles verification.One of the main things my job entails is swapping in new pcs. To verify the copy operations I always use TeraCopy's "Verify" option, which is great, but very slow when I'm connected to the NAS remotely, I believe because it's actually resending all the data as part of the verification process ( ).Īnyone know of a simple, ideally automated way of doing file verification faster (consuming less throughput) than TeraCopy?

The relevant NAS directory is mapped as a network drive, and I must connect via VPN in order to access it remotely. Folders are created and populated with files on my laptop just once for each folder, with no further modifications, so syncing manually has thus been pretty simple so far. I'm using TeraCopy to manually sync folders between my Windows laptop and a remote Synology NAS.
