Safe way to copy files
Source directory: /mnt/nfs/contents
Destination directory: /home/user1/public_html
Log files location: /home/user1/logs/copy.txt
check the total number of files in the source directory:
$ tree /mnt/nfs/contents/ | wc -l
16247
run the command:
$ rsync -Pavzh --log-file=/home/user1/logs/copy.txt /mnt/nfs/contents /home/user1/public_html &
Check the progress:
$ tail -f /home/user1/logs/copy.txt
Count the total number of files in the destination directory:
$ tree /home/user1/public_html/contents/ | wc -l
16247
If the copy process being interrupted, you just need repeat step 2 and the copying process will continue from the last state before interruption.
