What you are describing sounds like the usual backup strategies. Filesystem bugs that silently corrupt your data will also get synced and backed up.


> Filesystem bugs that silently corrupt your data will also get synced and backed up

This is a very easy problem to solve: don't do incremental backups. Or have N backups and rotate, which isn't as good but still gives you more time to notice. Hard drives are cheap.


Still doesn't excuse a filesystem claimed to be designed for reliability from having shoddy development practices.
