This happened to me, and caused me to rethink my approach file management.

Unfortunately, mainstream tooling is largely fire-and-forget and never includes verification (e.g. copying succeeds even if the written data is getting garbled), so one is forced to use multi-step workflows to get around this. It's pretty discouraging that no strong abstractions exist in this space.
