Logical volume management has been available for a long time and now we also have access to file systems that include such features. I use the terms synonymously. I'm doing the snapshots via lvm and rsync. Create the dynamic snapshot vol once a day, then use rsync once a day to copy all the new files off to another fixed snap that contains all of the files that changed that day.

Makes for more reliability, though systemd wants everything in /usr and /usr/share mounted at boot time along w/root, and that's causing a bit of an annoyance -- a more lovely gotcha, (my root and /usr are separate partitions), they moved mount from /bin to /usr/bin and left a 'mount' symlink to the new location on /usr. Of course little thought was given to how one would mount /usr in order to be able to access mount, but this seem typical of the thought going into the systemd changes... lvs LV VG Attr LSize Pool Origin Data% Backups Backups -wc-ao--- 10.91t Home Dataowc-aos-- 1.50t Home-2014.06.25-03.07.08 Data-wc-ao--- 3.84g Home-2014.07.03-03.07.03 Data-wc-ao--- 2.33g Home-2014.07.07-03.07.03 Data-wc-ao--- 1.37g Home-2014.07.09-03.07.03 Data-wc-ao--- 2.45g Home-2014.07.11-03.07.03 Data-wc-ao--- 5.36g Home-2014.07.13-03.07.04 Data-wc-ao--- 4.32g Home-2014.07.15-03.07.03 Data-wc-ao--- 21.59g Home-2014.07.17-03.07.03 Data-wc-ao--- 2.30g Home-2014.07.18-03.07.03 Data-wc-ao--- 2.26g Home-2014.07.19-03.07.03 Data-wc-ao--- 2.25g Home-2014.07.20-03.07.04 Data-wc-ao--- 1.71g Home-2014.07.21-03.07.03 Data-wc-ao--- 485.62g Home-2014.07.25-11.10.31 Data-wi-ao--- 656.00m Home-2014.07.25-11.14.30 Dataswi-aos-- 1.50t Home 0.11 Home.diffData-wi-ao--- 512.00g Home3Data-wc-ao--- 1.50t MediaData-wc-a 7.28t ShareData-wc-a 1.50t Squid_Cache Data-wc-ao--- 128.00g UsrShare Data-wc-ao--- 50.00g Media_Back HnS -wi-a 8.00t ShareHnS -wi-ao--- 1.50t Squid_Cache HnS -wi-a 128.00g Sys HnS -wc-a 96.00g Sysboot HnS -wc-a 4.00g Sysvar HnS -wc-a 28.00g UsrShare HnS -wi-a 50.00g Win HnS -wi-a 1.00t oHomeHnS -wi-ao--- 1.00t MediaMedia -wi-ao--- 7.28t --- So in the above, all the dated Home partitions are frozen snaps that only hold files changed on that day.

Script also prunes old snapshots keeping the last week, but going to every other day , then every 3rd and then 4th.. and that's about as far as this goes back. Daily backups using a tower of hanoi ordering are used for actual backup purposes.

Data from the source gets moved to the diff volume after comparing it against the base I only want to copy over the diffs for a given day.

Concern: rsync failing to find some attributes in a file transfer?
I have a regular script I run to make static snapshots of my home file system, with each being all the files that changed in the past 24 hours. I just moved my home partition to a new harddisk w/more space. I ran the util and have gotten odd results each time I ran it. This one bothers me... as I'm not sure why the attrs would be missing. How can the names be transfered but no content? Is that possible? Ideas? Thanks!

Besides the ones I included in the previous email, I ALSO experienced this: (from bug https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10724): The above was just a toy example designed to illustrate the issue. In practice, rsync 3.1.1 left dozens of such ghost directories inside my --backup-dir. - I ran out of space because of it... creating well over 100,000 empty directories that took up 400M space (on a 600M partition).
