I'm trying to back up some of my software, and I'm having some
problems, I found something in the archives specifying the need to set
a block size of 2k or greater. This makes a backup (I've not tested it
yet).

My questions are:
(1) Why does this work?
(2) Is it possible that not using the default/found block size will
cause issues?



Thanks
