I wouldn't want my backups to depend on manually checking the (quite

Yes, I agree it can be tedious. It would help if the error message
gave the line number in the tree file where it failed.
Meanwhile, at Andrew's request I have contnued this discussion only
with private emails to Alan Wrigley, who I trust will be able to shed
light on how we should more reliably use SafeStore.
Alan is aware of the problem but as far as I'm aware hasn't got to the
bottom of it. It's one of those intermittent faults that can be very
difficult to track down especially if they don't happen in your test
environment.
Just for some balance I have only had a tree corrupt after I installed
a new version of SafeStore but does warn you in the readme to redo a
Force refresh. I forgot to do that.
I've never found Force refresh to be successful. It's easier to rename
the destination directory and do a full backup.
Otherwise it backs everything up to my NAS (Synology) without errors.
I'm using NAS (Seagate) via stand-alone LanMan98. Most of the time
it's fine, then once in a while a job will crash out. I connect to the
NAS at start-up, not for each job.

I don't want a "user experience" - I just want stuff that works.
