While WBFS saves space, it is a "lossy" format in terms of archival purity. By stripping the padding and altering the file structure, WBFS files do not represent a 1:1 bitwise copy of the original hardware master. For strict digital preservationists, formats like WIA (Wii ISO Archive) or raw ISO are now preferred. WIA offers the compression benefits of WBFS (using algorithms like LZMA) while allowing for the reconstruction of the original disc image, including the original disc IDs and padding, ensuring byte-for-byte accuracy.
