Problem with failures during big file copies windows to windows

We need to copy some large files (10s of GB) between systems in our network and they often fail partially though.

This is Windows server to Windows server.

I have to think that Robocopy or Xcopy or some other freebie tool out there has the ability to continue a file copy from a point of failure.

Can anyone tell me what can do this and the syntax for the initial copy and second attempt (to continue) would be?

is this going to automatically do the retries and continue from where a failure began?
I love and use GSCopy, yes it does cost a dollar, but it rocks, uses VSS and has tons of options, and rocks at copying megga files, I found it because robocopy was failing on those damn 70 gig PST files.  it also has a gui that makes the command line for you if you wish.
