[Snip] I have done my standard Backup using the new SyncDiscs on my 4 root directories every day since I wrote that (9 May 10), immediately followed by a Compare. There has been no anomaly whatever in the latter. Of course there is always an extra file shown in Boot:Scrap. which is the report file itself. My impression continues to be that Chris's version is a bit faster but that is probably because I am able occasionally to take advantage of the multi-tasking.
