VirtualVolumes, any replacements?

Hi,

Currently im still using 2018r4

I’ve been using the Virtual Volumes for some time on my self updater system to keep things tidy and easy to obtain… Today i strolled around in wiki as i was just about to do some research for other project, and saw that 2019r3 has deprecated the VirtualVolume?

Are there any replacements that anyone knows or should i just start throwing all data into some mystique binary files in future?

My system was that the updater cooked a special file that contained list of files, the old(est) version that it can replace and if it can be downgraded. The system would look for it at boot and/or user could initiate the update process from embedded device UI.

Thanks for any tips or ideas,
Jari

how about a SQLIte database, maybe even encrypted where you have a table with a few blobs and some metadata?

Ill gotta give it a look, that could do the trick!
