> rsync is one of the great programs to discover.

Note that one will have to run it twice; the first time to copy and
the second time to verify that rsync does not want to update any files
there (if it did it would be an indication of corruption). -c makes it
checksum regardless of whether the file size/ctime matches, but it
will not make it re-do the checksumming after an update.
