Let’s talk about the most frustrating illusion in the PS backup scene.
NPS spawns pkg2zip as a subprocess. If the DLLs are missing, the subprocess dies immediately. NPS interprets this death as "Download finished" because it handed off the task successfully—it doesn't check if the handshake killed the baby.
The AV blocks the write permission, but doesn't kill the process. NPS gets a "Permission Denied" error, assumes the drive is full, and marks the job as complete to avoid crashing your system.
