linux - It is XFS reliable? In case of a power gone off is xfs riskier that ext3 in data corruption/safey?

I have been having some electrical issues,mostly power going out suddenly for a few months,and although ups solve the thing mostly.




But still i am worried about filesystem corruption,and data lost.



It is xfs worse than ext3 or less reliable when the computer goes off,or crashes or other filesystem issues?



Having a ups and a good backup strategy (i have a 1,5 tb disk that i want to use to backup all the critical data) is enough ,and i shouldn't be worried ?



I have been reading that xfs zero out data (although i think this has been solved) when the power goes off ,and things like that XFS is not safe against data corruption.



Enabling write barriers and tweaking xfs correctly, and having a ups and backups , could be xfs as reliable as ext3, or at least acceptable enough?




If i use xfs for / and /home to have more performance (with large files mostly), I will risk more my data,than using xfs?
