I use sanoid/syncoid to back up using zfs. Its great, keeps snapshots |
| 32 |
for as long as I want them (I use 80 days for now). And it keeps |
| 33 |
hourlies for the last couple of days as well, so I could roll back in |
| 34 |
case of a problem. Very nice if you use zfs. I don't think btrfs is |
| 35 |
ready for prime time -- its been under development for a while, but I |
| 36 |
am scared to use it -- I did try once, but got nowhere. |
