      Description

      If a recursive copy_from fails or gets corrupted, then half of the files will be in a good state, and half will be old.

      We should have an atomic attribute that copies in a temporary subdirectory, verifies the copy (if verify=>"true") and as last step it atomically moves it over the destination directory.
