Loads of stuff went wrong, but the one which annoys me most is the new NAS.
I'm transferring data onto the new NAS, and since I have loads of spare space at the moment, I'm also transferring some of the archive material from USB drives.

And the new NAS has a backup facility where it will copy all files from a USB drive to the main NAS. So...A Seagate 4TB USB (not full, but about half) to a Seagate 16TB NAS should be pretty simple.

And off it goes...and goes...and goes...and fails.
Why it failed I'm still not sure - the log records I have found are pretty poor, but there may be more better hidden - but what really annoys me is that the files copied aren't the exactly the same.

Same size. Same dates. Different names.
Spent all morning writing and testing code to fix this, but basically the "backup" software in the NAS doesn't like Unicode - so if a file name contains diacritics, they are replaced with "_". This doesn't happen with Windows file copy, or FTP jobs - just the backup. About 1000 files involved, out of a total of 5771...

What kind of moron writes backup code that changes the damn file name when the rest of the code works fine? Mad | :mad:
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...
