A robust and easy fsck like program which corrects errors easily.

I remember running Debian and having 1 hour-long song which I loved to listen to.. and I found out that it has been deleted from YouTube.. So I wanted to back it up before a system-wipe and well.. I tried like 5 times, every time the file would get corrupted, like it would be partially missing.. what a shame I wasn't as skilled back then, I miss that mix.. Fuck that filesystem, be it Debian's fault or USB FS fault or mine somehow.. the USB works perfectly to this day. Also I think other files got corrupted, too. And as for the "oh so glorious" FreeBSD's OpenZFS, it can fail, too, since /boot isn't a ZFS dataset.. and I had that set up on Arch which took me so much effort than I'd like to admit (shitty-as-fuck documentation, had to try&fail). So no, even FreeBSD as much as it seems to some- is not perfect at all. Oh, and what broke my system was a system update :-) How hard can it be to actually do something properly , which one promote??? I mean, seriously! Do one fucking thing, and do it fucking well, dammit! Not exactly on-topic, but yeah, hopefully someone finds this interesting.
