I mean, I can use/run FreeFileSync (http://freefilesync.com/) from my network-connected PC to compare the USB version of the file versus that on the RNPP, but that takes ALONG time because of the time it takes to pull data across my network (100 not 1000Mbps) and my PC is OLD (~4+ yrs laptop), so I prefer not to go that route.
