reading through all the other answers has been quite interesting. Though, as you mentioned silly ideas ;-) here's mine: Apart from if it's stable enough to use in a production environment but just as such an idea you wanted: What about setting up something with overlayfs, unionfs or any other translucent filesystem? The scenario would be like: - About to start backup now. - add an overlay mount for data directory * every change/add from now on will be written on a separate directory / partition / whatever but transparently visible while accessing the "real" data directory - back up the overlay partition from latest backup run - merge this overlay into "real storage path" and destroy the mount - keep the current overlay active till next backup and repeat this procedure Christian -- [email protected] mailing list
