[yast-devel] Question about snapper.
Hi, I'm working on a backup program which offers the ability for users to backup a directory based upon mimetypes. Only the mimetypes of choice will be processed. Also it offers access via fuse fs to different versions/snaphots of files, like: sbon [ /srv/backupbtrfs/mount/home/sbon/Projects/fuse/fuse-backup ]$ ls -al fuse-backup-opendir.c total 23 drwxr-xr-x 2 sbon users 11 Jan 28 14:56 . drwxr-xr-x 67 sbon users 4096 Jan 27 19:22 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 sbon users 14041 Jan 23 10:51 201501231350 -rw-r--r-- 1 sbon users 14137 Jan 25 18:06 201501251807 -rw-r--r-- 1 sbon users 14192 Jan 25 23:30 201501252251 -rw-r--r-- 1 sbon users 14210 Jan 26 00:06 201501260032 -rw-r--r-- 1 sbon users 14516 Jan 26 15:57 201501261554 -rw-r--r-- 1 sbon users 14295 Jan 26 15:59 201501261559 -rw-r--r-- 1 sbon users 15681 Jan 27 15:50 201501271440 -rw-r--r-- 1 sbon users 15775 Jan 27 17:53 201501271553 -rw-r--r-- 1 sbon users 15775 Jan 27 18:11 201501271754 -rw-r--r-- 1 sbon users 16244 Jan 27 19:09 201501271816 -rw-r--r-- 1 sbon users 16287 Jan 27 19:22 201501271919 This shows the different versions of the file fuse-backup-opendir.c in /home/sbon/Projects/fuse/fuse-backup. Note that in this fuse fs a file is presented as a directory. This is required to show the different versions as files in this directory. Which directory, and with what options, are processed is stored in a mysql db. It uses btrfs to create snapshots, and rsync to synchronize the directory with the backup. My intention is to create a plugin/extension for filemanagers to get easy access to these versions in a very userfriendly manner. I know snapper offers also backup functionality, and I would like to test it. I've got a recent linuxfromscratch system, so familiar with building from source. Is snapper also possible on other systems than opensuse? Stef Bon -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: yast-devel+owner@opensuse.org

Yes, snapper works also on other systems than openSUSE. AFAIR I received feedback from Fedora, Debian, ArchLinux and Gentoo. If you have specific problems on LinuxFromScratch please let me know.
