I don't do much with snapshots here, and definitely don't do auto- snapshotting, but snapper's a popular one, there's Marc Merlin's script, and there's several other related links I've not looked closely at on the wiki, as well. The use-cases page has a section on time-machine snapshots, with several links including snapper: https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/UseCases#How_can_I_use_btrfs_for_backups.2Ftime-machine.3F I don't see Marc Merlin's script linked there, but it's linked from the FAQ, snapshot example section: https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/FAQ#snapshot_example (Someone with a wiki login could probably add Marc's script to the use- cases list, and then reword the FAQ entry appropriately and point it to the use-cases discussion instead of just linking Marc's script.) -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
