btrfs Backups
Since tine immemorial (I first touched a UNIX system circa 1984), I have
used the venerable 'dump' utility to do automated full and incremental
backups to an NFS-mounted network storage appliance (NAS).
Now, with a brand new laptop, with fresh install using btrfs
filesystems, I find 'dump' does not work on them. (Fortunately, I was
able to use the companion utility 'restore' to recover my /home backups
and assorted config files from the root filesystem of my old laptop.)
So, I'm looking re-script my backups using btrfs tools. So far, it
appears I cannot do btrfs snapshots to the NAS and I'm not wanting to
attach another disk to the laptop just for snapshots. Are there
analogous (to 'dump' and 'restore') btrfs utilities that can do backups
this way, and can be scripted?
