When I set parallel operations higher than that, FFS pretty much consumes the whole system, so I now keep it at 2.įYI: The old hardware and driver (possibly buggy) was the ETRON EJ168 chip on my Gigabyte motherboard. I have since purchased a new USB 3 interface card, and so far have not experienced data corruption with parallel opterations set to 2. I believe that my USB data corruption was actually caused by flaky USB 3 hardware and buggy driver code perhaps exacerbated (and not CAUSED) by the increased load induced by setting higher parallel operations. I don't know why the forum notifications didn't work. Hello Darth, Sorry for my delay getting back to you. Results might differ if your CPU doesn't support the encryption parameters that you choose, or if you're writing to SSDs that are much faster, or if you don't have a lot of memory, etc.Īll my external backup drives will soon be VeraCrypted. I experienced no performance degradation when backing up! (surprising) It took about 5 hours to back up 910 GB to either VeraCrypt or Non-VeraCrypt volumes (using the same interface to the same disk drive.) I assume this was because I have an Intel CPU with AES extensions, and all the CPU overhead fit neatly within the wait times for disk I/O. VeraCrypt provides a handy console for unmounting and mounting volumes. Also, I recommend unmounting VeraCrypt volumes manually after performing backups. Volumes have to be mounted first, outside the FFS program (you can't manage the filesystems from within FFS). It's easy to use but requires a little bit of learning and practice to make it part of your general routine. Either way, it produces a NEW drive letter which is your encrypted volume. It supports either a Virtual volume mounted on one big contiguous file within your filesystem, or it can take over a whole existing unallocated disk volume associated with a drive letter. When you dismount the volume, only someone with VeraCrypt drivers and your password can mount it. I believe that the filesystem's administrative access rights prevail, so you don't lose that level of control. Once you provide the volume password and mount it, the entire volume and all files within it are accessible to the system as a regular volume. The whole volume is encrypted and requires a password to mount the volume. One nice aspect of VeraCrypt is that it runs on Windows, Linux, and MacOS/X. VeraCrypt is a spinoff from the TrueCrypt project that was relenquished by its original developers. I have created encrypted volumes using VeraCrypt. Note, that if you apply encryption (built into your syncing-tool or via an external tool), you obviously always need a tool for decrypting your files, which may cause all sorts of legacy related issues. But most importantly: after having run the sync, it does not require the tool (or any other tool) to "reconstruct" the latest (or any previous) version of the file from an initial version and all (or part of the) combined deltas.įor me, that is one of the prime reasons for using FFS. My guess why FFS uses file-level syncing and not delta-syncing: file-level syncing is straight forward, allows simple/direct versioning. There may however be other encryption tools that work equally well with FFS. The present version of BoxCryptor is much more focussed on syncing to the cloud, but may (also)still provide the (local) virtual drive feature with (file-level) encypted content. As FFS (as you concluded yourself) also does file-level syncing, the two are a good match. BoxCryptor creates a (local) virtual drive with encryption at file-level. In the past, I have succesfully used FFS in combination with a previous version of BoxCryptor, now referred to as BoxCryptor Classic and still available for up to Win10. Updated Russian translation (thanks to Timofey).FFS does (at least presently) not support encryption. Updated Korean translation (thanks to JaeHyung). Updated Polish translation (thanks to Janusz). Updated Japanese translation (thanks to Tilt). In some systems the jpg images uploaded to Google Drive were not detected as images. Box search now search only in file names instead of file content. Fixed, in the addressbar the path for the selected folder does not always refresh correctly. Buttons to reorder saved synchronizations. Added password verification box to encrypt uploads. Quota information and user name was not reported correctly in some Box accounts. Fixed upload encrypted files to Google Drive (Cipherfilestream modificado). Right clicking on the “+” icon to open a new tab will show only the bookmarks list. To open a bookmark select it in the menu when you open a new tab. To add a bookmark to folder click in the star icon in the addressbar.
