I haven't had a single case of data corruption since the late 1980s. I suggest that you find the reason for this corruption. Most likely reasons for corruptions are people who turn off their computer without closing the applications, and bad network connections. If you don't find WHY you get data corruption, you will continue to get data corruption no matter how hard you try to avoid it.
