I tend to relate ECC memory to how OS6 deals with data integrity when backup of the NAS is done to an external HD or another NAS. I read around page 220 and forwards in the OS 6 manual but I cannot find the information I want.
1) Does OS6 provide possibility to format an external HD in BTRFS and in this way ensure that data integrity is kept?
2) Does the backup system perhaps need to be under OS6 also in order to get the whole system NAS and its regular backup procedure to be safe against bit-rot?
3) Is ECC memory a key component to make the system NAS and regular backup safe against bit-rot?
4) Is there other reasons than to avoid bit-rot that motivates investment in ECC memory?
