OS X Error -36 While Copying Files

If you receive error -36 while copying files from one hard drive to another, the source drive is probably going bad and should be replaced ASAP. I received this error while backing up my iTunes and iPhoto libraries.  For both libraries, I needed to backup chucks of the library until I found the corrupt files.

You can confirm hard drive issues by downloading Smart Utility of OS X.
