It did abort. However, the abort meant the backup was no good since it
had been partially written before it hit the bad data. Fortunately a not too
old backup was in NCU's Previous Backups folder.

Ahh, so it aborted half way through the backup? As for corrupting the
backup, I thought that NCU only actually changed the backup file after
everything was done? For instance if you start a full backup (no previous
backup in the folder), and it aborts mid-way though, no file will be in the
backup folder as NCU didn't write anything to that folder unless the backup
completes sucessfully (at least in my experence).
