COMPLETE: Projects …….. 47/47 ✓ Desktop ……… 20/20 ✓ Documents ……. 27/27 ✓ Photos/0-5 …… 1845/1845 ✓
INCOMPLETE: Photos/6 …….. 213/297 (84 missing) Photos/7-F …… 0/2846 (all 10 subdirs empty)
Total missing: 2,930 files (~12GB)
======================================================================== RUN ON MACBOOK: bash ~/fix_backup3.sh ========================================================================
What it does:
- Transfers originals/6 through originals/F one at a time
- Each subdir is 1.2-3.1GB, finishes in 5-10 min
- –partial resumes if it dies mid-transfer
- Built-in verify at the end with per-subdir count comparison
- If one fails, just run it again — only the failed one needs redo
Why it wasn’t “truly successful”: The fix_backup2.sh script transferred the small library parts (database, private, resources, scopes) and originals/0-5 fine, but originals/6-F (the remaining 12GB) timed out. The script logged “DONE” because it didn’t check the rsync exit codes properly for the batched originals transfers.
