I'll test.

Anyway, after further investigation is seems I may have the cause of the errors. I don't want to throw stones just yet, I want to do several tests before I make a firm affirmation, but it seems it wasn't bad blocks that were the root of my problem, but a file system problem.

I am. And, I have made a backup and restored it successfully. Additionally, I have again triggered the error in my phone and BackupMenu v43 has successfully repaired the problem.

I am doing almost hourly backups as I diagnose the issue, so I'm giving the script a thorough check.
