Subject: Is anyone using btrfs send/receive for backups instead of rsync?
Date: Sat, 28 Dec 2013 09:19:43 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20131228171943.GE19863@merlins.org> (raw)

Currently, I have a nightly cronjob that rsyncs my SSD to my HD on my
laptop.

Of course, running rsync on an entire FS every night is slow, especially
if I happen to try to use the laptop at the same time.

Obviously, that's what btrfs send/receive is supposed to fix:
https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Design_notes_on_Send/Receive
http://lwn.net/Articles/506244/

It's been around for about 1.5 years now, so I was curious if others had
converted to it for backups when indeed the wiki has the CYA 'if you use
for backups, you get what you deserve' :)

Is it still being worked on, or kind of frozen/good as is?

Thanks,
Marc
