I'm new to data hoarding and i was wondering how i should store the checksums securely so it is protected against bad actors and also safely in case my backup drives get corrupted.
I want to first compress my data and then encrypt it.
Should i also keep checksums of the encrypted file or the compressed file?
I'm on linux but i wouldn't mind using windows programs in wine or in a vm but i would prefer to only use linux.
Mostly bc i would like to automate the process on linux. (but i could probably automate it on windows too if i have to use windows programs)
Btw i want to backup my data to ssd's hdd's and bluray discs.
Should i still use btrfs on something like inside an img file inside the encrypted file on bluray discs?
Since i see btrfs being recommended here.
Edit: I don't want to use zfs cause i want to easily implement multiple encryptions in layers like in veracrypt.
