So, having pulled my old PC apart, and collected various other old HDs, I've got 6 TB in 7 disks sat on my desk, that I'd like to use as time-efficiently as possible to take a dump of the data (ca. 5.5 TB) I have in the form of music, films and photos, to store at work as an off-site backup. Is there a nice little app that will let we 'pre-copy' batches so I can easily add files up to 1 TB (or whatever), then send as a batch to the external disk to fill it, then move on to the next disk?

That's irritating....

Lots of things in the App store, not so sure how well any fit my requirements though...

Never used it for anything like this but Automator is apples best kept secret - its included with the OS. It may not solve this problem but it would be worth 5 minutes googling to see if anyone has done something like it...
