Dear Experts

For my work when i tried to organize folders one inside each other in a max 6 hierarchy folders (not files),,,,and I have got many of those hierarchy not only one.

Example below of the folders names on my hard drive D

STORAGE-> BUSINESS->ACCOUNTAN-WORK-->TEMPLATES-->MISCELLANEOUS-->PAYMENTS --> Then many files (doc, excel, web pages HTML, pdf,,,,,etc)

I copied and pasted the whole drive from one laptop to another when I change a company or change my laptop or or replace hard drive with bigger size,,,etc

Recently when I checked the D drive folders I realized some files are missing ,,,,that must have happened when I copied.

Did that happen because of hierarchy chain ? How to avoid that ? Alternative suggestion ?

Thanks
 
As long as you copy and paste folders, anything in side should copy over. Unless you have files/folders hidden.
 
If you're doing a whole lot of data at once I've seen files just go missing as you describe. Just attempt it again and tell it to skip any files that are already there.

Exactly this is what happened and I didn't realize that till late , means I had already lost files.
I thought there is a a way / technique to avoid this from happening
