Wait, Truecrypt? Haven't I seen warnings in the Truecrypt docs against keeping several copies of the same file? And doesn't Dropbox backup every little change?

Wait, Truecrypt? Haven't I seen warnings in the Truecrypt docs against keeping several copies of the same file? And doesn't Dropbox backup every little change? You might want to add a note on your security page that storing encrypted files on a service with automated backups, like Dropbox, may pose security risks.
- JoachimSchipper 15y agoReally? That'd be amazingly broken - consider any of the append-only log-structured filesystems currently in vogue on Linux, which are very likely to preserve multiple versions of any file being stored (right?). Not to mention normal backups.
