Which indicates to me (from my perspective) that there is a problem
with the backup logic when creating one of size 0 (did it do so after
deleting the files?...or how does it fail?
The existing backup file being truncated certainly looks wrong. How it
became zero length in the first place ... mysterious. Martin's idea of a
compressor behaving badly sounds plausible.
As Martin suggests, it seems we have to check somewhere/somehow for an
empty file being created.
We supposedly check that the compressors are functioning before using
them, but bugs in all of that would not be a great surprise.
I think the problem is only on Windows.
So it seems. I have no way to debug on Windows, so I'll have to leave
this one to others. Thanks for checking and all the additional info. -k
