Not as reliable as JOURNELING FILE SYSTEMS (NFS, AFS, XFS, etc.)
Encryption is a fine way to ensure data recovery is impossible. If you want to lose your data, encrypt it all. It's that simple.
Howdy fellas,
I want to set up a reliable and safe external SSD hard drive to backup my most valuable / important files for long time future access:
1. Which is the most reliable file system?
2. Should I use the exFat and pre-composed system of my Samsung Portable SSD T1?
3. Is encryption future-proof or will it cause hiccups / compatibility issues in the future / worsen the reliability of my storage?
Thanks in advance.
Mike
PS: I'm on Mac OSX but i think it is a more general question anyways.
