My favorite is when data silently corrupts, and then is happily propagated to your off-site recovery :/

- kevingadd 4y agoYeah, I don't know when the drive started failing, so in practice my backups are probably all screwed too. My only option would be to get a spare drive, restore a backup to it, then do a block level diff of the current and backup volumes and try to figure out whether any of the differences are file corruption.
- Filligree 4y agoProbably I'm saying nothing you haven't thought of, but ZFS is great for preventing this. If you also pair it with ECC, then you've eliminated most ways to cause corruption.
