Sector Sizes: 512 bytes logical, 4096 bytes physical

It's a 512e AF drive. Whether using dd or badblocks to do this, the
block size needs to be 4096 (bytes) to write to the full physical
sector. dd defaults to 512 bytes, and badblocks to 1024 bytes, neither
of which will work correctly on this drive.

Weird. Because of this, I'd expect an extended offline test to fail
and report the first affected LBA. Thanks SMART.

If nothing is triggered with the backup, try a non-destructive
badblocks or dd read of the drive. Any error reported by either of
those that's not triggered by the backup is probably safe to just
write over. Just make sure to get the block conversion right.
