I also do regularly backups to an external hard drive, and the snapshots help there too. I use rsync, but instead of rsyncing the contents of /home, I rsync the contents of the latest snapshot (which is at most an hour old). This means that I don’t get any warnings from rsync about files changing ‘in mid-air’ – I always get a ‘clean’ backup.
(And yes, I *am* aware of the ‘btrfs-send’ tool. But it’s more complicated to set up, I still don’t fully trust it (or myself in using it correctly) and rsync (--update) is plenty fast for me.)
One possible optimization is to only transfer changed files since previous snapshot; see as example https://www.tummy.com/blogs/2010/11/01/fun-with-btrfs-what-files-have-change... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
