One good reason: so all of the fucking half ass obnoxious shit that have put into 11 didn’t taint 10.

Thanks! Good to see par2 also mentioned there.

Dont know much about *nix compression but keen to hear about other’s opinions.

I would suggest looking at par files for your corruption concerns. They would add overhead both in time and space but well worth it. I checksum everything I back up so that I can verify it. And par larger files so a bit flip, or more realistically a bad sector or two (thousand) doesn’t break everything.
