The biggest problem I had with the various series was that they somehow only were able to do mv and not cp. Do they expect us to believe that we lose the computational ability to do cp in the next 400 years? Apparently, they are completely lost on the concept of working with a backup, except when it's necessary to pull their ass out of the fire. Then they always manage to find the backups that they never seem to make otherwise.
It's done occasionally, one I can specifically think of is with Riker's transporter accident that created an identical copy. I suspect it isn't done much because it makes people think about the concept of self, and how the transporter accident doesn't fit with how most people think of their own identity.
