Hello!,
I would like to get some insights for a clean usage of restic-backup-service with btrfs. This is my situation: I have a given directory that I want to backup using restic (this part is perfectly managed with the restic-backup-service). Before doing so I would like to freeze this directory and backup the frozen dir (it is a btrfs subvolume and just making an snapshot would be enough). Since restic-backup-service has not hook option integrated on it, in your opinion, what would be the cleanest/standard way to achieve so? I had some ideas but I do not manage to like any of them completely. - to write a whole new service and do not make any use of restic-backup-service (problems: I do not consider myself skillful enough) - (since the directory is being snapshotted periodically by a shepherd timer) to use the last of a list of periodic snapshots (problems: not clear what happen if at the moment restic is backingup the timer generates a new snapshot?) Thanks as usual for your help. Best regards, Diego.
