I'm looking for a program that can do staggered copying. Quite frequently, I need to copy large amounts of data (Hundreds of GB to TB) from external SCSI, Firewire, Shared Storage, etc., to other external drives. Also quite frequently, while dragging & dropping and the copying is starting, the computer gets sluggish, or cannot continue to copy from and to multiple sources simultaneously. Error messages ensue. Rather than wait the hours and hours for one drive to finish, just to start another manually, is there an application out there to "batch" copy commands to pickup once the previous is done?

I encounter this under both Mac OS and PC platforms, so I'm open to any piece of software.

Thanks!
