How do you sync nightly? If a file is corrupted or a bit is flipped are you copying over a good copy?

I sync on linux, btrfs lets me take snapshots after each sync. I currently use rsync, but I'm thinking of setting my primary drive to btrfs so I can use btrfs sync.

I used to do this with windows. Yeah, if you have corruption, you copy it, but so does a raid? At least this way your safe from fat finger errors and you have a quick access backup.
