What can be newer or not existent yesterday, but has the same filename?
Something that one changed with an editor? Would not be better to use
a version contro system?

Hi,
I found it, there exist glastree which is available from ports.
Nice small "poor man's" backup as the author qualifies,
though makes incremental backup through hard links:

be accessed by SSHFS, NFS, or CIFS. Note that OmniOS has a kernel

A fundamental element missing from the 1st mail is on which hardware should

I exclude you are talking about several nodes, on which you can run Ceph or

Hi,
I'll be playing around with DragonflyBSD Hammer2 (and multiple offsite
backups) for a home NAS over the next few weeks. I'll probably do a
presentation about the experience at the Montreal BSD user group
afterwards. It does not require as many ressources as ZFS or BTRFS, but
offers many

I found it very expensive for home usage, so I wouldn't recommend it.

I'm running a small home NAS on OpenBSD, in a very similar configuration
as your intended configuration, right down to the rsync backup scripts.
It's worked very well so far, though I've only had it in place for a bit
over a year.
I chose OpenBSD over FreeBSD due to being far more comfortable
