just as such an idea you wanted: |

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 |
