Time Machine (tmutil) Restore problems

I had /Users as a seperate disk on my mac pro. It died recently, so I'm in the process of trying to restore from my time machine disk.


The following works: Sort of.


tmutil restore /Volumes/Tardis/Backups.backupdb/Lothlorien/2015-09-12-001849/Users/sherwood /Volumes/NewUserDisk


It will proceed happily for a while then fail with something like:


tmutil restore /Volumes/Tardis/Backups.backupdb/Lothlorien/2015-09-12-001849/Users/sherwood /Volumes/User_Raid/sherwood

Is there a flag to tmutil to tell it to give me a single list of failed copies at the end, instead of having to restart it each time. I have close to 2 terabytes of files, I don't really want to restart tmutil every 100 gig or so.

Mac Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5), 3.2 GHz Quad Core Xeon; 24 GB ram;
