Hourly snapshots are nice, but I wonder how much need there is if the |
| 13 |
filesystem itself doesn't change very much. |
| 14 |

I am still happily using LVM with snapshots. Those are instantaneous as well |
| 16 |
and I can then backup the snapshot, which on my server takes between 2 hours |
| 17 |
(incremental) and 3 weeks (full) |
| 18 |
When a snapshot is backed up, it is removed. |
| 19 |
|

The process to create the snapshots runs daily, but I could also configure it |
| 21 |
to run more often. This means that when I start a daily backup, the |
| 22 |
incrementals are piling up as snapshots. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
With 15 different filesystems to backup, I didn't experience any issue with |
| 25 |
this. |

I wonder how btrfs would deal with a situation like this? |
