So, I want to keep a backup of my main drive in a usb drive to

also, since I just can't stuck 18TB of shit in a usb drive, there is any kind of software that keep a copy of the files withoput the files themselves?

I mean something that keep the files without them like movietitle.mkv 1kb so I can look at what I had and redownload it

I know it can be done since some fag from /t/ did it with all his porn to show the files he had and 17k files was like 5mb

Create sywbolic links for every fdle and put them on the usb drive.

just get a high capacity SSD with an USB3 adapter

>>58180969
A 18TB SSD?

>>58180722
In Linux something like

 tar -l | cat files.txt 

for making a list with all the files.
Not sure if that works, can't be fucked to try it.

>>58180996
I know how to make a list in a txt file but what I want is something like the file without the file itself I know it can be done but I don't fucking know how

>>58180722
ok what the fuck is this?

>>58180752
>make a copy of the file without copying the file
>restore backup without a copy of the file
>hard drive fill of empty files

>What is the best way to encrypt my usb drive to secure the data in case I lose the drive instead of the computer?
dm-crypt

also use ZFS send/recv

>>58181154
>dm-crypt
Its so secure as a 123456 password

Where is that anon from a couple days ago talking about his russian ex? He was right, russian women are gold diggers...

>>58180722
If you are only using it against generic burglars bitlocker is more than fine

>>58180722
That looks like me. Except I'm not as fat.
Feels bad man.

>>58180987
no, there are 15TB,13TB SSD
or you can get 10TB HDD and store them off-site

>>58181517
Or I can just do this and don't waste 1k in storage to backup stuff I can just redownload if I want?

>>58180722
>>58180752
What OS are you running under ?

>>58181687
Debian/win7 (storage seedbox/nas) (work)

>>58181706
On Windows I don't know how that can be done.
The easiest would be to store a tree view of your files or build a list using "Get-ChildItem -R" in a PowerShell interpretor.

On Debian, you could eventually use a recursive "cp" with the symbolic links arg :

cp -rs shit/ destination/

As I said text is not good enough, if is not something better than >>58181122 I don't need it, it got a list of my 18tb of stuff in 5mb in a cool html tree

Anyways I'm just doing the backup of the win 7 thing so I might use bitlocker + acronis encryption, should be enough

>>58181812
How hot can a pendrive get before diying?

The one I have plugged in the radio to listen to music is just fine after 5 years in the car and its a turbochink 4€ drive, the one I'm using for the system backup is a usb3 kingston

>>58180752
Literally ctrl+C all files, ctrl +V them into an open text editor, and bam, you just saved the titles if that's what you want.

This implies that somehow you can relocate URLs based off mere titles, if not just keep a file listing a bunch of URLs, don't overcomplicate this.

>>58181880
>pen drive
you'll probably be fine.
You can bake cookies on a cars dashboard, the heat will kill a person. Keep that in mind though.
You said back up your files, people on /g/ tend to have terabytes of data minimum, so I assumed you were wanting to stash hdds in your car.

>what is reading

>>58181139
is this hardcore jorge

>>58182295

>>58181349
just start to get /fit/ It's easy as fuck. You just need to stop eating shit, eat less (what you need, not too much).
Bonus point : practice any activity
Bonus point : do some push up and abs everyday, takes you 5 to 10 min. max.

>>58182684
I need 3 whole pizzas
gaymin is an activity
I lean back while I play, sitting up to grab the keyboard several times takes the same amount of time if I were to just do it all at once.
Ill be /fit/ in no time

>>58181139
