But, because all of the errors shown are related to an index, doing a compress of the database might fix it. I can't guarantee that it will work, but you won't be in a worse position afterwards than you are at the moment. Use the compress function in the plugin and then run the database check. If neither have an error, then it should be OK.

This shouldn't be related to the new OS, unless it isn't ejecting the device properly. Or is accessing it differently than before.

As to the manual backup not showing the errors, that is because it doesn't do the checking. The automatic backup checks the database after copying it to the PC. Hence you get this error and the file will have "CORRUPT" as part of the name. The manual backup simply copies the file. It was a quick and dirty solution I added a long time ago. I'll have to have a look at it.
First did the compress method but I still got an error, although it was only one and the previous ones were gone. So I did the logout and login method next but when I realised that some of my data, particularly the Reading Stats, were gone, I just decided to go back to my last good backup so that I can still get the stats. It worked but I ended up losing some of my covers but the plugin managed to fix it. Lengthy process but it's all good.

Thanks for the tip!
