The advantage over Restic and Borg is error correction. Otherwise Restic and Borg do the same and are more tested.

What do you mean by error correction? In which sense does restic not do error correction?

If you flip a bit in some file in a restic or Borg repository, you will lose data (the amount of which depends on the location, possibly the repository is corrupted). With error correction, that bit flip is corrected by the software from parities.
