I wouldn't consider a backup system any more that isn't able to establish full integrity of backups.
This isn't very hard to do at all. It's very easy to DIY full integrity. Especially with ZFS, where you can take a read-only snapshot and not have the FS changing underneath you while you're traversing it. Here's a previous post of my on the subject: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13129294 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13129294
Something as simple as the following, done independently for source and destination, and results compared, should suffice:
find -x \
. \
-type f -print0 \
| xargs -0 -n 100 -x md5 \
| sort > /tmp/manifest.source
