One way that patternists could be wrong and I might still be satisfied with a (non destructive) upload or copy as a way to preserve myself is if our memories were prevented from diverging by some sort of sync technology. Maybe it would be a daily thing, or maybe continuous. Sort of a RAID array of brains.
But this still requires actual revival as an initial step, not destructive copying or uploading.
