A journaling filesystem can't guarantee that all files can be
recovered, it's main purpose is to guarantee that the filesystem
itself is in a sane and consistent state.
A journaling filesystem doesn't mean that you don't have to do
any backups anymore. ;)
After all, I can't remember having lost files after recovering
with XFS.
