couldn't this just be fixed with a checksum or something?

I suppose it just depends how important your data is to you. I'm sure the more money it's worth the more drastic steps you take to ensure you have working backups.

Most of the things you keep around you don't need.
>>
>>52457234
time is money
the data should be worth the investment in time if you take extra steps to personally ensure the procedure is working
if it's low priority data, then it's not worth spending extra time. Good backup solutions can be trusted enough in 2016 for it.

>>52454139
But I just backed up everything last night.

>>52457314
Don't be selling yourself short senpai
If you want to keep it around, you should make sure it stays around, especially if you already backup other "more important" things
>>
>>52454139

on first sight I thought this was the "it is now safe to turn off your computer" message

>>52457321
>if it's been a while since your last backup
>make one now
Evaluate the statement after the "if"
It hasn't been a while since your last backup
