Failed TeraCopy (simultaneous copy/move conflict) File in use/Not Found Errors, Files Vanished/Deleted :(

[JazJon]

I like to use  TeraCopy when I move/copy files around.

Here's what happened.

 

My goal was to transfer files from my C:\Downloads, to 2 locations

1) Copy to Z:\Folder (an external USB hard drive)

2) Move to P:\Folder (my Drivepool)

 

I should have let 1 complete before jumping to 2, but here's how it played out.

 

The Copy was half done, and I had the bright idea of queuing up the Move since I thought TeraCopy could handle it and do it all in order.   As soon as I tried to Move, the whole Copy operation stopped with a bunch of file in use errors.   (don't have the exact error message handy)

 

The lame thing is TeraCopy seemed to then delete every file that was remaining it seems.  I think there was some copy/move conflict confusion 

 

Is there any way to use Recuva (or other undelete) on the individual drives?    I tried to run Recuva on 

D:\PoolPart....\Folder

E:\PoolPart....\Folder

F:\PoolPart....\Folder

etc

(nothing found)

Well, i use TeraCopy extensively, as well.

 

As for the undelete stuff, you should be able to use that on the pooled disks normally. That Recuva is not finding anything is odd. I've used it actually, to recover files in the past, so it should be working. 

 

Though, depending on the size of the disk, and the system setup, the Previous Versions feature may be able to get some of the files back.
