>Snapshots may help, but they depend on the damage being caught before the snapshot of the good data is removed. If you save something and come back six months later and find it’s damaged, your snapshots might just contain a few months with the damaged file and the good copy was lost a long time ago. The author seems to misunderstand the purpose of snapshots. As frequently [1] pointed out, snapshots are not in fact backups and should not be used for longer term storage. Also the same argument can be used on Backups: "Backups may help, but they depend on the damage being caught before the backup of the good data is removed. If you save something and come back six months later and find it’s damaged, your backups might just contain a few months with the damaged file and the good copy was lost a long time ago."
