Something weird happens when I run the backup of my .jpgs. Basically, some pictures seems corrupted and cannot be opened. The thing is, it seems completely random: my pictures are all .jpgs. Some folders are copied correclty, some others seems corrupted. If I copy manually from my PC to the backup drive the images are just fine and perfectly visible (this mean that the original file is not corrupted). Any help? thanks!

Check your backup disk for errors.

Are the file pair dates & sizes the same?
If you (binary) compare pairs of files, does anything stand out?

Able to post (upload) 2 small pairs, original & corrupt?
If I copy manually from my PC to the backup drive the images are just fine and perfectly visible (this mean that the original file is not corrupted).
But that does not mean that if you copied all your files (like you are doing with FFS) that ALL of them are fine (because, "it seems completely random").
