That's one that hasn't worried me. The checkpoint/journal mechanism allows me to have flat, editable, copies of the database I can rebuild from in a moment's notice. All of the files are stored in accessable formats within the depot (RCS, gzip, etc.) I know that even if my Perforce database is totally hosed, (1) I can rebuild it, (2) I can get to my files. Perforce's openness has allowed me to work around its few shortcomings, working directly with the database check points and the depot files. Oh, and, I have never had a problem with database integrity on my system.
