Well, there are two ways to look at it.

Are you on my side or not?

It's pretty black and white to me.

You don't really need to go on and on about it.

Why don't you get off my case then.

"If I can't win an argument, I must change my mind." Do you agree with this view? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

So no is my answer. But we could argue about it.

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.
