Ken, Used Syncpack Pro for years and currently on 4TB usb drive backing up from network with no problems using mirror copy on Windows 10 host.
I must admit the pre copy scan takes some time for large folders but it always works with no problems.
Have you had a look at Teracopy (Freeware) or Microsoft's own Richcopy (Free).

I learned about SyncBackSE on this list years ago and have been using it successfully.
However, I have been moving my backups to 5TB drives and SyncBack cannot handle it. Yes, it does work with large drives; the problem is that stupid (my opinion of course) need to 'scan' the drives before even starting the copy/mirror. I often get an error that stops the program related to 'out of memory' during the scan. My main backup system is a ASUS Win10 computer with 16GB memory and 52 TB of storage internally and on external drives. It seems to me that should be enough memory for a computer that is used primarily for backing up drives on other computers on the network. The other issue is the failure to be able to email a log and access a FTP server if I am using the Win10 built in administrator (I won't tell you my opinion about M$ decision to have 2 levels of Admin) Note that Filezilla client can access the FTP server with no problem regardless of the login so I know there is no problem with the credentials or FTP server or internet access.
I found mention about WinSCP in my notes and I see that I tried it in 2014 and decided not to use it (I don't remember why not?)
Anyone have any suggestions?
Xcopy, of course, handles any drive any size but does not have some options that are important to me.
