Thanks I am learning a lot (and trust me it is productive because it
has all forced me to go through the code at a line-by-line level.

I am noticing that some of the potentially improperly backed up files
have either a "0x00" or "0x04" as there code?
How would that happen? (or are these somehow error codes that got
stuck back in the first byte?)

Thanks!
