Wonder how Digg deals with that.

What that article says is if you do something analogous to backing up a live mysql database with dumb cp, Bad Things Happen. Yes, we do plan to make it harder to shoot yourself in the foot, but this isn't a data-corrupting bug of the kind you meant.

Note that they're using cassandra for _computed_ data- the original components still exist elsewhere.
