FilmCan copies your media to multiple drives in a single pass, hash-verifies every byte, and writes the manifests, so you know the backup is good before you wipe the card.
Drag your card or folder into Copy From.
Drop one or more drives into Save To. More drives = redundancy.
One pass copies to every destination at once.
FilmCan automatically hash-checks every byte and writes the manifest.
