Hi,
I'm trying to backup my Debian Squeeze system that is on the same LAN as
my desktop Debian (Squeeze) machine. I'm running bootcdbackupwizard on

When I run bootcdbackupwizard I get output that can be seen

One possibility is soft memory errors in the RAM. Using ECC
errors in the RAM. Using ECC RAM
reduces the likely to a vanishingly small probability and has long
been the normal hardware for high quality systems. But cheaper
commodity hardware desktops designed to run a well known commercial OS
these days uses cheaper non-ECC RAM since it doesn't make sense

far I have not convinced myself that spending money would help solve
the problem. Perhaps in a few years, computers with eSATA will start
showing up in dumpsters. Maybe I

Interesting. So what is /badblocks/ for,
I would say it is useful to make the drive access every single block;
afterwards you can check in the SMART log if that caused any remappings.
That's a good idea.

OK. Usually (during regular use) the internal errors probably increase
more slowly. If a single sector is already really unreadable, then every

Reallocated sectors, as Pending sectors mean lost data (if the sector

In other words, scanning for bad blocks on a HD cannot work.

So, the fact that my WD drives don't play well with S.M.A.R.T doesn't
make them special, and I should not spend much, if any, time looking
