If you want to do it in stages, use something like Sychbackfree.

It might take a longer, but you can eventually confirm that the source files are a match to the destination.

Accuracy may be more important than speed.

But I don't want a system image. I want specific folders. Some are already backed up to it's own specific drive (E.g. A 3tb media folder)

Then mount the image and extract what you need to your external drive with out affecting original drive plus if anything goes wrong simple to repair computer.

If you don't want to use bulk standard copy and paste have a look at 'allway sync' I have used it for many many years and never had a problem
