That is a good suggestion.
Will try that when I have the time.
I am very curious about what will happen.

I have developed a routine now that works but is slow.
After I successfully copy a new batch to my SD card I make an incremental backup with Puresync of the entire contents of the SD card. Then when a new batch goes wrong, because connection is lost in the middle of the copying process, I reformat the SD card and use a card reader to restore the backup to the SD card. Then I try copying the new batch again. If it succeeds this time I create a new backup...etc.
