And none of them are what I would consider remotely useful for
backups.  (What, you guys don't backup to external media?)  :)

Attached is my nightly backup script, edit it to suit, and dump a
symlink into /etc/cron.daily or whatever.  It requires a btrfs target
(rather than source).

birgers RFE #2

[birger]

I understand that there is resistance to adding dependencies to the
tools package, so how about a contrib package for contributed tools?

I have a neat snapshot script for my laptop that I wouldn't mind
sharing. Works mostly like the NetApp snapshots. Set up a cron job with
a prefix for the snapshot name and the number of snapshots to keep. It's
very easy to set up for schemes like 24 hourly snapshots, 7 daily and 4
weekly.

The only dependency as far as I remember now is bash.

I would also be willing to try setting up a btrfs-to-btrfs incremental
snapshot system given that my RFE #3 also gets done. :-)

I have roughly the same thing in python. I can post it if someone is
interested.

Hello guys,
I would be interested in that script, maybe in both of yours,
Thank you! :)
