Finder chokes on complicated tasks. Use CCC or ditto instead.
Dan, how is this done? Especially, using ditto?
In CCC, set it to incremental backup, then unselect the whole source
drive, then select the specific directory trees therein you want
copied.
Ditto... is the tool that older vers of CCC used (current vers uses
rsync). It does really well duplicating directory trees, creating
subfolders, etc. The command "man ditto" will give you details, and
there are a whole bunch of examples at the end. It's simplest form
is all you need... "ditto sourcedirectory destinationdirectory"
hum. Perhaps add "-v" to make it a bit verbose.
FWIW, ditto seems to do better than cp when moving large directories.
