We claim stability since February of 2007, more than a year ;-) Please see our web site: http://ntfs-3g.org. There is no known reliability problem with the driver.
Actually, not only we use NTFS regularly as a reliable backup but apparently many other people too, based on the daily almost 1,000 downloads besides the driver being available or included in over 140 Linux distributions and several very popular ones (like Ubuntu, Mandriva) use it as the default NTFS driver to read and write this file system.

This problem was fixed 1.5 years ago in a BETA release, before NTFS-3G became stable:
