Re: Incremental backup over writable snapshot

[GEO <1g2e3o4@gmail.com>]

First of all, I am sorry that I screw up the whole structure of the discussion 
(I have not subscribed to the mailing list, and as Kai replied to the mailing 
list only, I could not reply to his answer.)

Kai: Yeah, your point was neutral and I did never understand it otherwise. 
Thank you for your answer!
I already had idea of creating a subvolume called DATA in my home directory, 
however I find that pretty annoying, as most applications will open home by 
default. 
In fact I would find it more elegant to generally backup without making changes 
to my file system structure in home. 

I know that there other possibilities to do what I want, but I am asking 
whether the initially described method would work reliably, given that the 
user makes not a fundamental mistake himself. 
I know it may sound stubborn but I am really interested if my method works 
just as reliable as the other suggested methods.

As I am not having the level required to check the code myself, I am asking 
here, in the hope someone knowing the code could state if it should work or 
not. 

Thank you all for your help!
