Apparently, the file in question was corrupted, probably because of the 
server crash:

# BackupPC_zcat < fNAV_bjki_Log.ldf  > NAV_bjki_Log.ldf
BackupPC_zcat: can't uncompress stdin

(it only uncompressed ~300 MB).


As BackupPC compares the file from cpool with the one currently 
transferred, it was failing on a broken file.

Hopefully, it was it (backup still runs).
