This was mostly working fine but a while ago I realized a bunch of files were corrupt, and I have no idea when or how they got corrupted.
one easy way to check integrity while backing up is with rsync, though it is not the ideal tool to check for corruption after a successful backup; i'm sure rsync can run on Windows, but i don't know the ins and outs
a long-term reliable backup system should probably include multiple backups and sets of checksums with which to periodically verify that each backup is intact; if one is found to have become corrupt over time, that media should probably be replaced with a new copy from an intact backup
(personally, i do use rsync and make multiple backups, but i don't keep checksums and check for corruption later)
