[Question] How do you check your cold storage for data integrity?
Hi,
I plan to fill up quite some TB worth of external 2.5" HDDs as cold storage and think about 4-5TB capacity/drive.
What procedure would you suggest to check for data integrity? The idea is to do that once per year to also prevent demagnetizing.

Easy, transparante, does what you expect.
Took a look into it and really like how it works. Unfortunately it doesn't support special characters and seems deprecated since ~15years. I went with ExactFile to test things out and so far it works like a charm
