I've deleted the original message. Did he want to make four copies of the same data set, or one copy of four different data sets?
I wonder if you could use {lab} "transmit data (away from a place)" for copying data from one computer to another. I've usually seen it used on the List for posting an email or uploading a file, but isn't that what he's doing?

Examples of {lab} from canon:
labbeH
(The device) is ready to transmit data. (TKD)
HablI', Su': labbeH.
Ready to transmit. (ST3)
["Data transceiving device, attention: prepare to transmit." (ghunchu'wI')]
labmeH 'evnagh Se' lo' tlhIngan QumwI'
A Klingon communicator sends a signal through subspace radio. (S19)

I am Marc Okrand and I bring you an important message. ('U'-MTK)
ghe'naQ Daqvo' QInvam wIlab.
We will place a homing device transmitting this message at the site of the opera. ('U'-MTK)
The last two come from Okrand's recent "Message to Kronos" about the opera {'u'}.
