Another solution for data integrity I've been tempted to try instead of switching filesystems is to go RAID 1 / 10 on a couple SSD's. A bit finicky to set up (and not viable on Macbooks, obviously) but it's practically zero-maintenance after that until one of the hardware parts fails.
I also do most of what parent comment does i.r.t. backing up to external drives at regular intervals. It /sounds/ like a hassle, but most of my process is automated so I plug in the drives, run a bash script, and wait til it's done. Works quite well.
- vetinari 8y agoThe problem with RAID1 is, when the bit flips, you don't know (at the block device or filesystem level) which copy is the good one.
- lomnakkus 8y agoRAID1/10 doesn't really help with data integrity (at least if it's just basic "standard" RAID). It helps against catastrophic media failure and not much else.
