Hi Andrew,
I use btrfs-sxbackup which allows me to stream the subvolumes. I can stream all of my subvolumes with a simple btrfs-sxbackup run * from the backup location and another script that allows me to restore subvolumes. I have tested this building a duplicate drive as well as had to use it for real. It is a pretty good tool built around btrfs send and receive commands. Hope this helps.
I stumbled across this tool a while ago. Looks very promising. Thanks for pointing it out.
Though it still leaves the question how to properly bootstrap this setup and what steps have to be taken for restoring a standard openSUSE Leap system from such backups.
Best regards, Sebastian
Hi Sebastian I have made my poor scripts available on my gitlab server https://git.acolvin.me.uk/backups/btrfs-backup (signed by my own CA so either accept certificate issue in the browser or download my CA cert from http:// www.acolvin.me.uk/acolvinCA2.pem) The restore script is the interested one and is based around the subvolume structure openSUSE used when I created the system so will need changing now as there are fewer subvolumes on the last VM I created. You can restore to a spare drive (ie from a rescue session with a drive mounted or onto a usb drive) and then you should be able to boot Hope it helps Andrew -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner@opensuse.org
