Thanks Michael,
Just for the record: I have done some research and found out that
Sunrise Commander does copy in the background. It also
has AVFS support for archives and remote filesystems. Currently I
don't have any experience with it, but
it certainly looks very good and I'm going to fiddle a little with it.

Mateusz
