1. Purpose

1. Internal Disk - OpenZFS/ext4/NTFS ? for all OS (Win,Lin,mac)
2. External Disk - Is exFAT OK ? Else OpenZFS/ext4 ? for all OS
3. Backup Disk - guy says exFAT is bad for backup as it corrupts. so ***ext4/***OpenZFS ?
4. SOHO Server/NAS - ZFS

2. OpenZFS vs BtrFS?

3.1 Is ZFS on Win/mac mature enough ?

• https://openzfsonosx.org/

3.2 If not Is Ext4 on Win/mac good ?

• https://github.com/bobranten/Ext4Fsd
• https://github.com/macfuse/macfuse , https://github.com/gerard/ext4fuse (no update)

I have old software, DVD rips, books which I would like to share with the world, How do I do it - torrent, InternetArchive

Example

1. sometimes foobar2000 randomly changes some settings and things break, I don't want to create duplicates (to save space) instead I want to track changes in it.
2. Same for chromium.

I say select because I don't want the imaging solution

Mint is a goto debian distro, but I switched from Debian unstable to mint and my experience is worse. PulseAudio is wierd, when suspensing last 1 sec of audio loops, crashes, Mint is based on testing irc.

These software have option to config directory using .ignore file

1. Kopia - .kopiaignore
2. Restic (hard to use)

• --exclude-file
• Ignore File: create a custom text file e.g., excludes.txt
• .exclude_me supports --exclude-if-present, which lets you skip any directory containing a specific file, such as .exclude_me.
• Uses gitignore-style syntax
• wrapper like Restatic - crawls directories before Restic starts and looks for .restaticignore files. It merges all those local files into one big exclude list and passes it to Restic automatically.

3. Duplicacy .duplicacy

https://github.com/gilbertchen/duplicacy/wiki/set

• While the official binary uses .duplicacy/filters, many users use scripts to generate that filter file by scanning for .cvsignore or custom ignore files in subdirectories., * https://forum.duplicacy.com/t/filters-include-exclude-patterns/1089/23, * https://github.com/TheBestPessimist/duplicacy-utils, * https://github.com/markfeit/duplicacy-scripts, * https://github.com/gilbertchen/duplicacy/issues/337, * https://forum.duplicacy.com/tag/filters

Rclone (Only ignores no option to config)

1. --exclude-if-present .rcloneignore (any name)
2. Global --exclude-from list.txt

Why is it only recommended for "Large-scale cloud copies" and "Google Drive/Dropbox/S3"?

Borg (Only ignores no option to config) .borgignore

FreeFileSync (Maybe global only).ffs_gui or .ffs_batch

How to set up like this with features -

1. Forever full backups/DeDuplication - Option Delete changes older than x. Where full-backup is taken once then incremental-s are merged. I have heard terms like, snapshot and CBT but don't understand it.
2. Save a "Ghost" for excluded data ie only Filename, Metadata and Folder-Structure.
3. "File Change Tracker" to see summary of what files are moved/deleted/renamed between 2 backups. Like Kopia's https://kopia.io/docs/reference/command-line/common/diff/
4. "File History" where I see previous version of files on the main disk. Like Kopia's kopia snapshot list <filename>

To Backup

• External and Internal Disk (files) to backup,
• all separately backup-ed to the same backup disk, .

Duplicacy has a -nobackup-file

1. No Root
2. No Bootlocker unlock
3. No Custom ROM
4. Needs Google Play Service
5. Needs to be installed via Google PLay Store
6. Needs my phone number
7. Needs that SIM in that phone
8. Needs that SIM in that slot
9. Needs location
10. Works only via Mobile Data
11. Developer options disabled
12. Needs someother app to be uninstalled
13. Disable VPN (Firewall apps use that)

So for bank stuff to need a seperate phone, other for whatsapp (and other spyware) and then your main thing. And when you go out people ask questions.

I don't understand my apps are developed with their security dependent of the OS, why can't they make secure apps

1. Kopia .kopiaignore
2. Duplicacy .duplicacy
3. Borg .borgignore
4. FreeFileSync .ffs_ignore

How to set up like this with features -

1. Forever full backups/DeDuplication
2. Option Delete changes older than x.
3. How to Only backup Select Data, like only personal data,
4. Save a "Ghost" for other data (internet data not personal), which is only Filename, Metadata and Folder-Structure.
5. "File Change Tracker" to see summary of what files are moved/deleted/renamed.
6. "File History" where I see previous version of files.
7. Config from inside folders for disks (not OS) with e.g..backupconfigfile containing e.g. backup=1, or have select file backuped/not-backed-up.

To Backup

• External and Internal Disk (files) and OSes to backup,
• Backup select data from Disks,
• all separately backup-ed to the same backup disk, .

How to find the reason it froze ?

I read on PC, how can I save power and make PC last longer by under powering the PC ?

On Windows I put max CPU state to 1%, PCIe and WIreless Power to power saving mode.
