Yes, I think music software is better at covering for minor errors than
pure data uses..  although these days with drives reading and writing
so much faster virtually all drives are set up to 'best guess' small
gaps for what is missing rather than generate an error and stop, and
it works well 99% of the time.

System backups that I expect (hope?) to never use I don't do all that
often anymore unless I make major changes to the Operating System or
change hardware requiring changed drivers and such.
I keep a copy of the day to day stuff I need kept up to date backed up
on a flash drive until there's enough to burn to a disk but I don't do
the full O.S. very often.
