I have about 610,000 files in my source, and about 690,000 in my target. Some are very large files. The most time-consumming part or the backup process is comparing CRC values. Just how important is this part of the process?

I suspect that I could save quite a bit of time skipping the CRC compare, but I need a high confidence level as my business is dependent upon maintaining the integrity of my data.

Hello

Instead of a complete CRC comparison (useful for the first run), I would use the option "Verify copy operation by checking CRC after each file copy operation is completed ViceVersa verifies CRC of target vs. source. this will check CRC only for newly copied files.

thanks
