True. The snapshots are not rolling though and I don't have much data but you are right. It's not going to be fun picking through my snapshots for individual files if they get corrupted over time.

This seems like an unavoidable issue though when using a workstation without ECC RAM and a copy-on-write filesystem. I thought about moving the files off my workstation to my NAS which stores my media files. This does tick both the CoW and ECC boxes but it's not properly set up yet. Setting up an iscsi target on the NAS is an option but then it gets fidley when trying recover specific files from different points in time since I can't just browse the snapshot like any other filesystem.

Getting ECC memory into workstation should be just "okay, you want it, pay 20% more and you get it", not having to find which combination of CPU,firmware and motherboard is needed for it, it's sad state we're in.

Tell me about it! When I looked at the price of second hand ECC UDIMMs for my server I almost cried.
