So I've been using a program called GoodSync to sync my photo hard drive to a backup drive (that I take off-site). I had been using Windows Explorer for the longest time but started to get concerned about the integrity of files and file corruption during copying.
I see that GoodSync can do an MD5 checksum during copying, on each file it copies to verify that it's been copied without error. My question is if MD5 is sufficient to tell if a file was copied successfully as not corrupted during the copying process? Or is there another more reliable method or software I should be using to backup/sync hard drives.
