Need to copy a 200GB directory

Ditto Ken on two points:  200GB isn't that large (I've worked in an
animation studio) and rsync is restartable.  I'd go with rsync.

It has a dizzying array of options and even more finer points.  You don't
need the rsync daemon.  Try to use full paths.  Include trailing slashes if
copying directories.  Experiment and then write a bash script.
