yes, corruption can happen silently in the background! regular fsck can catch these while they are correctable or before they cause any major loss. ext3 and xfs have no mechanism for online fault correction to detect silent corruption. ZFS has this mechanism but I don't believe many people are using ZFS and backuppc together at this point.
fsck = good

Corruption happens.
Especially if you have hardware that flakes out at all; which it might.
