Sounds like your drive may have developed some bad blocks and
formatting it caused it to recover... but I wouldn't use that drive
for backups anymore because it's dying and it's only a matter of a
short amount of time before it fails and you loose everything. In
fact, I wouldn't use a thumb drive for backups at all. They aren't
designed to be written to in bulk over and over like you are trying
to do and they will fail quickly. Get yourself a good external
drive. You should go with a regular spinning drive as there are no
advantages to backing up to flash over USB. A flash drive will fail
a lot more quickly than a spinning drive with the way you are using
them though. You'll also get a whole lot more space on a hard disk
drive so you can alter your backup procedure to keep multiple
versions. <br /><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888">
