Read errors followed by "Backup Done"

Quick question:
If I see the following…
Code: Select all
Backing up disc into folder "…"
Loaded content hash table, will verify integrity of M2TS files.
Encountered 9 errors of type 'Read Error' - see http://www.makemkv.com/errors/read/
Backup done
Does that indicate any problem with the backup, or does "Backup done" mean the backup is good regardless of any preceding messages? (In other words, does "Backup done" imply that all mentioned read errors were successfully retried?)

Hmm… after further checking, it appears the rip
is good.
After doing another rip on a different drive with no reported errors, I ended up with a result that was bit-for-bit identical to the first one, so it appears the 9 reported read errors were all successfully retried in this case (though surely it could have been more explicit about it). (I also verified there was no corruption in the m2ts streams.) Indeed, when there's an uncorrected error, MakeMKV seems to indicate the exact file with the error, e.g.,
Code: Select all
Error 'Scsi error - MEDIUM ERROR:L-EC UNCORRECTABLE ERROR' occurred while reading '/BDMV/STREAM/01082.m2ts' at offset '1794244608'
Failed to save title /BDMV/STREAM/01082.m2ts to file …/BDMV/STREAM/01082.m2ts
or
Code: Select all
Hash check failed for file 01080.m2ts at offset 903014400, file is corrupt.
Hash check failed for file 01080.m2ts at offset 903211008, file is corrupt.

followed by
Code: Select all
Backup done but 2 files failed hash check
instead of just "Backup done".
