Backup

External media

Since I switch OSes frequently I macOS and GNU/Linux (specifically Fedora and Ubuntu) daily, Windows seldomly. having a minimum-hassle filesystem for my external drives would be very convenient. exFAT ExFAT. seems to me like the best solution. In fact, exFAT is the default FS for SD cards and USB flash drives with more than 32Gb. So perhaps, if have a large-ish USB pen or an external drive, chances are you don’t even need to reformat it.

Software

My software of choice for backups at the moment is Kopia Kopia website.
