Nope, not here, it doesn't.

Nope, not all of us have that problem.

There's no need to rebuild anything. You simply restore from backup and
you are done. And you'd still have only one backup if you used
DiskWarrior to rebuild your directory. And not all problems are due to
directory damage - sometimes the hard drive simply quits working
correctly, in which case DiskWarrior cannot help you.

Nope, not for everyone, it isn't.
