Why SeizenCopy

FAQ
SeizenCopy requires macOS 14 or later and supports Macs with Apple Silicon or Intel processors. Lid mode is available only on supported MacBook models.
Yes. SeizenCopy also handles audio, documents, archives and other files. You can select all files in your chosen source or just the ones you need.
Yes. You can copy between camera cards, local folders, external drives and NAS locations accessible from your Mac. The available copying options depend on the destination’s storage type and file system.
No. SeizenCopy reads your source files without changing them. Folder organization and renaming are applied to the copies in your destination.
Yes. Your backup can follow the destination’s folders and filenames, or keep the selected files together with their original names, adding numbers when names conflict. SeizenCopy must be able to verify that the backup storage is separate from both the source and destination. A different folder or partition on the same physical drive is not enough.
The copy plan lets you choose how to handle matching filenames: keep existing files, add copies alongside them with numbered names, or overwrite them. Available choices depend on the destination, with all three options supported on local APFS and HFS+ destinations.
Yes. With Copy continuation enabled, you can add new files from the same source to the same destination while keeping the folder structure, naming rules and continuing file numbering. This is supported on local APFS and HFS+ destinations.
Enable optional SHA-256 verification in the copy plan to check that newly copied files match their originals. Copies in the destination and backup have separate verification results, which you can review in Statistics.
On a supported MacBook, prepare your copy plan and activate Lid mode before closing the lid. Keep the MacBook connected to power and the required storage connected. Simply closing the lid does not activate this mode.
Completed copies are kept. For eligible copies on local APFS and HFS+ destinations, SeizenCopy can offer recovery using the available source and saved copy history. Recovery copies an incomplete file again from the beginning.
