+ [help]
+ If a file on the backup becomes corrupt in a way that file size
+ and modification time still match the original file, rsync will not
+ consider the file for transfer ("quick check"). Hence the corruption
+ stays on the backup until the file is modified on the source.
+ The --checksum option of rsync disables the quick check and compares
+ the contents of each file, fixing such corruptions. Since computing
+ the checksums adds a significant slowdown due to a lot of disk I/O,
+ the option is not enabled by default.
+
+ The argument to the --checksum option of dss is a number between 0
+ and 1000, inclusively, which determines the probability of adding
+ --checksum to the rsync options each time a snapshot is created. The
+ default value zero means to never add the option. The value 100 will
+ create every tenth snapshot (on average) using checksums, and the
+ value 1000 will always pass --checksum to rsync.
