    Backups are definitely necessary. The problem though is that you cant detect by default if you are backing up corrupted data. By now i found three approaches: 1. Use a filesystem that detects and fixes errors (e. g. btrfs or zfs) 2. Use par2 (parchive) to generate checksums on your files manually 3. I found the following issue on the k8s storage solution I currently use: https://github.com/longhorn/longhorn/issues/3198 For now I am waiting for option 3 getting merged. In the long run I will upgrade my laptop to btrfs and for now use par2. Hope that provides a starting point. Feel free to add your ideas!
