Finder, Synchronize! Pro X, several others I can't recall right now.

Copying whole volumes to blank disks, copying groups of folders to blank disks, etc.

Also, copying to disks containing data already that have defrag'ed directories- the directories remain mostly defrag'ed.


In fact, the original disk we copied with SuperDuper had a directory that was only 3% fragmented (according to DiskWarrior). Copying with SuperDuper resulted in a copied disk with a directory that was 32% fragmented. That is not good!...
