Seeking solutions for partition copy problems

[a2@wilserv.com (Willi Kusche)]

Hi, y'all!

    I tried to copy a partition on a Vulcan drive in a IIgs by
dragging the icon for the partition to a partition on a 1 gigabyte
drive.  This worked just fine for the smaller of the two paritions on
the Vulcan drive.  But the copy of the larger partition on the Vulcan
drive aborted because of read errors.

    Is there a copy program for the IIgs that will skip files with bad
sectors instead of just aborting the copy?

    I tried deleting the bad files but that didn't work for some of
the bad files.  So I had to copy each folder separately.  The folders
with bad files couldn't be copied as an entire folder so each file had
to be copied separately.  Many hours later I had the partition copied,
except for the files with bad sectors.

    I'd like to verify that I've made a valid backup.  Is there a
directory matching program available that will list the differences
between two directories/folders/partitions?
