Yesterday, I was leaving some job of copying a directory to run overnight. This morning however, I found the computer had restarted because of Windows Update or something.

I was wondering if there is some way to check if the copy is complete?

One way I guess would be check the last modified time of the copy, and when the system restarted. But I was wondering where to find the time when the system restarted?

I was also wondering if where to find some logging files that have the records. I know Event Viewer, but don't know where to find within it.

Other methods are welcome too.

I also would like to hear suggestions for other ways to accomplish the copy instead of just simple copy and paste.

Thanks and regards!
