Should I "Ignore bad sectors during copy" (when creating Base and Incremental backup images)?
For many years I DID select this option (I was advised to use decades ago by Ghost phone support). They a couple years ago the wise people on this forum told me this option was a mistake (I think at the time one of the drives involved had bad sectors, and Ghost never let me know).
So for a couple years I have NOT selected this option, and this week I find that the hard drive I dedicate to storage of backup images for one of my backup jobs has errors that once again Ghost never let me know about (I discovered them after I ran hard drive diagnostics after a BSOD ("NTFS").
Of course maybe Ghost never tried to use a bad sector on this drive (I aborted the hard drive diagnostics as soon as I found a bad sector, since one is enough for me to replace a hard drive)...
I'm just checking in to ask for confirmation that Ghost 15 might be expected to let one know if one of the hard drives involved in a backup operation has bad sectors, and that for it to do so one wants to NOT select "Ignore bad sectors during copy". Please advise, thank you very much!
