Abstract
Computer file copy systems and methods in which a list of files to be transferred from storage on a source file storage computer is sorted by one or more processors of a copy computer in ascending order from a smallest file size to a largest file size. Thereafter, files having the smallest file sizes are selected from the sorted files such that a total size of the selected files is equal to or less than a total size of memory available on the copy computer, the selected files are copied concurrently with one another from storage on the source file storage computer to the available copy computer memory by the one or more processors, the files are written concurrently with one another from the memory on the copy computer to storage on a target file storage computer by the one or more processors, and the process is performed iteratively.
