brima copy --input manifest.dot --target /backup/drive --threads 16 --verify-checksum This gives you Filedot’s intuitive source declaration with Brima’s kernel-level speed. The true "better" experience comes from a wrapper script (bash, Python, or PowerShell). Below is a simple Python script that acts as the missing link:
filedot scan /source/dir --output manifest.dot --format json This creates a human-readable index of all files, their sizes, and paths. Pipe that manifest into Brima for the actual heavy lifting. filedot brima better
# 3. Add verification (the "better" part) subprocess.run(f"brima verify source dest --repair", shell=True) brima copy --input manifest
