hi, i have a backup drive plugged to my main computer and it has a set of folders. I want to be that set of folders as secure as possible, in a way it can't be modified by mistake.
I already marked all folders and subfolders as read only, but the problem is that the files can still be deleted, moved to another location, and even renamed. I almost messed up with the folders by human mistake and since then i don't feel confident on the security of the files, and they are very important to me to.
I also did a checksum on each folder and placed the file inside the folder. The problem is that, the files can still be moved, deleted, or renamed by accident.
You might suggest use BitLocker, but i don't trust that because if the hard drive suffers a failure, having it password protected with bitlocker reduces the possibilities of recovering data from it.
In the past i used to backup the folders on compressed files. Wasn't a bad idea but took double the space because i wanted to have the folders easily accessible so i had the compressed version and the uncompressed version, and i don't have enough space for doing that anymore.
any ideas? thanks
