the crash resistance of backups in case of a powerloss or hard shutoff.
There are currently three levels:
- - `none` (default): Does not do any syncing when writing chunks. This is fast
+ - `none` : Does not do any syncing when writing chunks. This is fast
and normally OK, since the kernel eventually flushes writes onto the disk.
The kernel sysctls `dirty_expire_centisecs` and `dirty_writeback_centisecs`
are used to tune that behaviour, while the default is to flush old data
after ~30s.

the task returns `OK`. This way it is ensured that the written backups
are on disk. This is a good balance between speed and consistency.
