Since the 1990s I have used Total Commander, a shareware program from Germany. It was modeled after the old Norton Commander from DOS days. It's basically a much more powerful version of having two Windows Explorer windows open side-by-side. You can select files or folders with right-click, and drag anything between drives with the mouse. I find it indispensable. It has the potential to cause confusion in the hands of someone not skilled in file management, so I don't refer just anyone to it.

It can synch directories. It can change file attributes.

It will stop when it hits an unreadable file, but you can recover and continue.

I back up folders to other drives, removable and off-site, so I've never used Acronis or any other backup utility; I prefer to control things myself with Total Commander.

For a one-time small fee, I have lifetime updates. It's even free to use with a nag screen.

Highly recommended, and I used to teach DOS and hard drive organization.
