Some things that are bothering me about file/data corruption
-
This might seem kinda off topic but I'm very concerned about this. I'm storing serialized objects in binary files as a data to load, there will be a lot of these files and I'm afraid that it might get corrupt because I want these files for a very looong time. After reading this I have some more questions Why, or How, do Files Become Corrupt? - Ask Leo![^] :confused: 1. There is no way I can prevent it? 2. If you don't use/interact a file there is a high chance of getting it corrupted? 3. Will the file get corrupted depending on its weight :-D like if its 1 gb or more? 4. What is the best way to store/keep my data clean for long time usage? 5. I know there is a huge chance of files getting corrupted if a windows crash occurs while I'm saving it. But what about like after the file is saved and if a windows crash occurs? will the file still corrupt? PS: My english sucks, hope you had a fun time reading it! :)
