I'm sure it does. Also, WPS copies are inefficient compared to command
line copies.

I would not have used /v. There are faster ways to check for copy
integrity. Even so, 48 hours is way to long unless you are copying
terabytes of data. How much were you copying?

Was there a popuplog?

You can use

copy /bchs

this will pick up whatever is not already copied. The /b is not strictly
needed, but it should save some processing time.
