Thanks all for the recommendation. I did suspect SyncToy wasn't always 
copying everything (I haven't installed either on this machine yet - 
I've just been using explorer, and copying everything). I've had a look 
at the FreeFileSync website, and it _looks_ somewhat more informative 
than SyncToy, so I'll give it a go next time I do a backup. (Obviously 
it won't save any time the first time.)
