History is necessary for a backup system in the strictest sense. The purpose of a backup system is disaster recovery: restoring a system or data to a good, working, usable state. If your data are corrupted and your one deep history is of that corrupted data then the backup cannot be used for recovery. History is necessary to restore a system or data to a known or discoverable good point. -- Rich P.
