What is better - ext4 or NTFS in terms of data safety?

Question

NTFS

I make a backup of several terabytes of data. Which file system is preferable in terms of the reliability of storing data on a hard drive - ext4 or NTFS? The influence of the OS is minimal, because Linux can read NTFS, and windows with the driver can read ext4.

Answer 1

Little depends on the file system. You do not make a backup on a buggy disk.
Linux doesn't work well with NTFS, and Windows doesn't work well with ext4, so choose more based on what OS you're using.
But in principle, data recovery from NTFS is more likely than from ext4 at home. But if it comes down to it, then honestly the difference in the file system is unlikely to help you much. It is better then to make backups in two different places.

Answer 2

From the point of view of data storage reliability, it would be preferable to use regular backups, archive copies and a clear (regularly checked) data recovery plan.
The file system has nothing to do with storage reliability.

Answer 3

Usually, if they are looking for a true solution, then Linux was set as the host, and Vin was the guest one. Therefore, the FS will be native for Linux extfs.
zyzh but the question is, how will you write to extfs from Windows? ekst2fsd already knows how to write to ext 4 ?
