Hi, I'm using Back In Time on Ubuntu 24.04, installed using sudo apt install backintime-qt.
I was rendering videos on the primary (OS) NVMe SSD while performing a backup with Back In Time from an internal SATA SSD (NTFS) to an external NVMe SSD (NTFS). This was a mistake, as I should not have been multitasking during the backup process.
At a certain point, I encountered a bad block error, and the OS failed to boot. Long story short, both the primary NVMe SSD and the internal SATA SSD experienced bad blocks. I replaced both drives to be safe, and I plan to use Back In Time again.
I am interested in understanding if it's better to use Back In Time with disks using a different filesystem, such as a Linux filesystem instead of NTFS. Thanks.
