Hi All,
I’ve been using veracrypt for years and recently updated one of my containers with important information, ran a backup and felt good about being secure and backed up. Than clicked into the “Completed x mins ago” to verify it got uploaded…this is where the problem begins!, It wasnt uploaded. noticed in Veracrypt that theres an option “Preserve modification timestamps of file containers”, oh noes…this is default on.
So now i have many containers that are “out of sync” with my b2 backup, which is sub-optimal. i see there is a -hash option and found 2 forum posts, but they didnt really give me the information im after.
Basically id like to know/understand - whats my best option here?. i think id be a good idea for me to run a “-hash” job ever so often to ensure i capture everything?. How much performance hit will this give, i suspect itll hammer my SSD.
Also how does one run a hash job every so often? just add it in the “Command options” or “Global options” in the web gui for when i run a backup and remove it once its done? will doing it this way create issues?
i could change veracrypt, but i think id feel better doing a -hash every so often as maybe theres other programs that are doing this to my files too.
other topics i looked at for informational purposes.
