SNIP

it should not happen at all as you might imagine.
your python looks recent enough. if you wanna experiment you can probably get 
the latest 2.7.16 but i doubt it'll make a difference.
it's probably something specific to your setup or else the ml would be flooded 
by users having this problem.

use what works for you. :)

would you mind running the backup to a folder on your local hard drive? just to 
make sure it is not some weird issue writing/reading to the external drive?
as said up until now such issues on this list were exactly what the checksum is 
there to detect write/read errors on the backend.
