>>As previously advised, the issue is with V1 of the FTP component. The authors only added the fix to V2.
Right - I was only re-reporting it because, you also previously advised that "we are currently stuck with using v1.x until we do a major rewrite of the SB code (which is already happening in the forthcoming v6)." Since then I did purchase v6, so assumed it was now resolved. Since it hasn't been - am I to read "We simply don't have the time, even if we had the inclination" to now mean "actually, this wasn't included in v6 and likely will never be fixed after all...?"
>>changing that drive might solve it (so that you don't get the errors in the first place)
This is a different HD than last time; I'm not sure what causes the issues to occur, whether it's usage/age, improper Windows shutdown, etc - but sector failure of this nature certainly isn't unheard of. I've had plenty of drives fail across my various systems over the years, and notebook drives seem particularly vulnerable (which this one is - which is precisely the reason I'm so fastidious about backing up frequently).
>>backing up your images to somewhere off-FTP
What other method might you suggest? Does SFTP use the same library as FTPS (and would thus exhibit the same bug?) That's the only other possibility I can think of, as SyncBack doesn't support rSync. Buying a whole extra HD and lugging it around the world while I travel, then running each daily backup twice to manually check for this bug isn't really feasible...
