Quickpar the complete 6 men EGTB ?

I wonder whether any of you have any experience in backing up tablebases without actually making a copy. In my case I would need an additional 1,5 TB drive for all 6 men EGTB. On the current one there is more than 20% space left which I could use to store par2 files. I would probably have to generate these files during a few overnight sessions for groups of sets. Maybe my idea is not new and someone has a better alternative. Quickpar can be pretty slow to repair large sets and I belief this relatively old tool is really thrashing the hard drive during a repair.
