Sparse files are not properly copied over on teracopy

I have sparse files on my drive, which means that the allocated file size (physical) is smaller than the actual file size (logical). This means that it actually occupies less space on the source drive. When copying over to the destination, the full logical size is allocated on the destination drive instead of only the physical file size. Henceforth, unable to copy over files if the destination drive is nearly full when it should only take up lesser space if only physical file size is allocated.
