RESUMABLE COPY OPERATION

A method is provided that includes initiating a copy operation to copy a set of files from a source location on a first storage device to a destination location on a second storage device. Metadata is stored on the second storage device in association with the destination location to include the source location on the first storage device and an indication that the copy operation has been initiated. The metadata is updated with identifying information of files from the set of files successfully copied from the source location to the destination location during the copy operation. After an interruption in the copy operation, the copy operation is resumed based on the metadata identifying the source location of the set of files and the identified files successfully copied from the source location to the destination location prior to the interruption.
