No one proposed that. The scenario is that the backup server would have its
rsync destination dir (from multiple other systems) periodically snapshotted,
providing a historic view of what it contained 1-2-3 months ago. Just like
"bup" does in userspace, I guess? -- or like rdiff-backup did, which I used
before. But now we have that directly in filesystem, no need to cling to
userspace crutches anymore.

With respect,
