I save my business invoices in a ZIP file, but when I try to open the file SparkFS (1.42) reports the error message 'Error reading data'. This happened last year, too, so I split that file into two after I recovered a backup from the NAS. Unfortunately, this year's file backup is also unreadable. Looking at the files in Zap suggests that the file list at the end of the ZIP are missing. Bizarrely, Spark (2.23) opened the file & allowed me to recover the contents. So I'd be interested to know if I should be doing anything to prevent this file corruption in the future. Using VRPC if this has any bearing on the situaiton.
