Hi! so I read a lot on this subreddit when buying my first external drive to keep some of my data safe from deleting, but I also read a lot about how data should not be compressed or encrypted when hoarded. Is there a way to ensure someone who gets their hands on my SSD, without basically having more copies on the drive or having more devices with the compressed / encrypted files? So far I managed to gather only like 20 GB of most essential data I want to backup so I can compress it and fit it few dozen times on the drive but those 20 GB are growing faster than I expected.
