7 Don't use cp -u, if you interrupt it while a file is being copied, that
8 file will remain incomplete as it will have a newer timestamp than the
9 original. rsync won't have this problem.

11 I agree with the other comments that this is unlikely to cause a problem,
12 but you could run hddtemp or smartctl with watch to keep an eye on the
13 temperature during the copy.
