I would expect that ZTree assumes that if there were no errors reported during the copy then it succeded, and so the source file can be deleted.

If you are going to format the source drive why not use Alt-Mirror and then Alt-Compare, Binary=Yes.

You could also generate MD5 or other checksums for the source and destination trees, then you could do a compare of the checksum list files.
