What about setting up something with overlayfs, unionfs or any other |
| 13 |
translucent filesystem? The scenario would be like: |

|
| 15 |
- About to start backup now. |
| 16 |
- add an overlay mount for data directory |
| 17 |
* every change/add from now on will be written on a separate directory |
| 18 |
/ partition / whatever but transparently visible while accessing the |
| 19 |
"real" data directory |
| 20 |
- back up the overlay partition from latest backup run |
| 21 |
- merge this overlay into "real storage path" and destroy the mount |
| 22 |
- keep the current overlay active till next backup and repeat this procedure |
