Greetings All –
I just updated Vera Crypt to version 125.9. For years I have been using this program to safeguard my sensitive files. One of the things I liked about it was once the file container was created, it retained its creation date and general appearance, even if something was added to its content. I created it so it would fit on an 8 Gb flash drive. Looking at the file in Explorer lent the impression that it was a very old file and perhaps not worthy of snooping in to should the computer ever fall into nefarious hands. I run a batch file script to back up all my files. The script only adds new files or newer versions of existing files. So for the Vera Crypt file I always had to add an additional line to the script to back it up, because the command line always saw it as unchanged–same size, same date, same everything. This new version of Vera Crypt changes the container file properties. It still has the same size as when I created it, but it puts a current date on it every time something is place in the container. I like the old way better. Has any one else experienced this, or is there perhaps a setting in Vera Crypt that doesn’t update the date with content change. I’m running WIN 10 Pro, 21H2, with the May updates. Thanks.
