I wish there was more information about the kind of data corruption caused by Attic. Is there a related issue here? [1] 1. https://github.com/jborg/attic/searc

  In addition, some form corruption is expected to happen due to factors besides the backup software, such as bugs in the kernel or hardware errors. What I wonder more is why the corruption of the file data wasn't caught by the backup software since it uses checksums for deduplication. A third option is user error such as that between the (user) checksums and the backup there were changes to some files.

  I think this one in particular (related to msgpack depedency?): https://github.com/jborg/attic/issues/264 https://github.com/jborg/attic/issues/264

  Also, wouldn't "attic check" mitigate it? My backup script always runs "backup" "prune" and "check", in that order. That said, I freaking love attic. It's the best backup program ever.
