Same thoughts here as well, but how does encryption correct data?


Correcting data is much harder, and would require a significant amount of additional storage to provide enough redundancy to be able to deduce the original data. But detecting is good enough for many uses, you would be able to restore the files from the Time Machine before those get silently corrupted as well.
