Right, thanks for the input. I used to use it for unimportant stuff like game storage so it's entirely possible errors just went unnoticed ๐
Said drive is a new one for media and regular everyday usage, not the existing backup drive according to the OP. Btrfs is more than stable enough barring specific RAID configurations, at any rate.
Yeah I guess exfat is the way to go then, it's how I handle my external SSD rn as well
Edit: Also, I'm not sure how well btrfs handles external drives. Didn't realize that when I suggested it.
Ah, now that's a scare! Glad you mostly managed to recover at any rate.
As for the fs to use, exfat is probably a safer bet but btrfs is also an option. I've used winbtrfs in the past and it works surprisingly well.
Yo, I own the exact same striped socks lol. I should add my own post one of these days.
Anyway, that all said, hell yeah!
Yup, I first heard of it in neovim but the way helix integrates it as a first class citizen is so damn cool
I second borg, been using it for years and it's never let me down. Granted, I haven't actually had to do disaster recovery so far, but my tests have been positive lol
Best I can do is unhinged and passionate, take it or leave it
Lol I came here to basically make that exact comment. I don't even bother with timeshift on NixOS since the state that actually matters to me is described by my git repo and it's got native rollbacks.
That said, I'd love for btrfs + timeshift to become the out of the box standard everywhere else, it's just fantastic user experience.
I'm no expert but I see no obvious red flags there, should be good to go!
I'm under the same impression, I check it every few months but it looks clunky and not worth the trouble. Not something I'd like to rely on right now, that's for sure.
