What makes you think the Twister format is unsafe..?
 
The problems with restoring from Turtle disks was one of "operator
error"... that is, trying to use disks with different types of formatting
when doing a backup, rather than having them all preformatted all the 
same...
 
Version 3.0 of Turtle now detects the format in use on a destination disk
and allows you to reformat it if it's not the same as the others..
