Thanks for the suggestion, but it seems a fairly heavy-weight solution. It's got a snapperd that runs from dbus (a daemon?) and a command line utility to control it. It supports LVM and Ext4 as well as BTRFS which is a lot of overhead when you just want BTRFS. I'd like to have a simple command-line utility that can run from cron with parameters to specify the number of snapshots to keep. Support for both BTRFS and ZFS would be nice, but something that supports only BTRFS would be fine. Support for LVM and Ext4 is a lot of extra complexity that I will never use. I will probably be more likely to write my own tool in shell script or Perl than to use Snapper. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/ _______________________________________________ luv-main mailing list [email protected] http://lists.luv.asn.au/listinfo/luv-main
