Sadly the problem's not fixed; now it's intermittent.

Most times NVBackup will backup fine. Most times it will update fine. But every now and then (twice now, in about 15 backups) it freezes. I can't figure out why. A backup that went fine a few days ago froze when it was being deleted yesterday. Another scheduled backup a few days before that froze for no obvious reason. But most of my backups complete without problems, as do most of the scheduled updates (and way faster at that than with my 1GB SD card.)

The obvious explanation is the TX was maybe clearing memory and I overreacted; but I waited something like 20min before resetting for the first freeze.

It's not fatal or anything -- just puzzling. I soft reset when NVBackup freezes. NVBackup then freezes every time it's launched until the offending backup folder is deleted. For that I need a card reader and a PC because FileZ refuses to delete the problem folder. So it's not a major hassle; just a mild pity that these two marvelous pieces of software don't, sometimes, on my machine, get along.

The next step is to hard reset and install software one by one and wait and see between installations for problems. But that'll cripple my TX past Xmas. This is no way important enough for that.
