Hello Nicholas, I cannot reproduce your problem right now. Please provide the more information, like the exact commands you used to backup and restore. > I looked around the internet and there was little to no mention of a > similar bug.

I remember that it was recently [discovered][1] that under certain circumstances, disk I/O errors can get silently ignored. You might want to check if you're affected by this. [This comment][2] shows commands used to create an archive and shows the file lengths being wrong, which is a symptom of the ignored i/o error on read. The fix will be included in the next upload. To check whether your problem is a corrupt backup or during restore, please try mounting your backup (man borgbackup, section BORG MOUNT) as a directory and see if the files inside are all right. If your backup can be mounted and the files inside are correct, then you are not affected by the above bug. > BorgBackup still fails to extract files properly and completely.

It would be best if you call borgbackup with --verbose to get a bit more details of what exactly it was doing when it failed. If you can, send the terminal session as a text attachment to avoid any email formatting or line breaking. The "script" program from bsdutils package can help you to create such a transcript file.
