fast-copy guides
Task-focused walkthroughs, one job per page. For the flag-by-flag reference, see the CLI reference; for measured numbers against cp, rsync, robocopy and friends, the benchmarks.
Local Copies
Folders, single files, globs and multi-source copies to USB, HDD or network mounts — at block-order speed.
SSH Transfers
Tar-pipe streaming over plain SSH — no SFTP, nothing installed on the far side. Push, pull, or relay.
Cloud Storage
s3://, az:// and gs:// as first-class endpoints, with named connections and encrypted credentials.
Sparse Files & VM Images
SEEK_DATA/SEEK_HOLE extent walking — copy VM disks and Longhorn replicas at allocated size, holes preserved.
Sudo Backups
Root-level snapshots of system paths, with safe self-elevation and a tamper-evident audit log.
Everyday Options
Dry runs, excludes, buffer tuning, dedup toggles and hash-pinned self-updates.
