Best Practices For Using BTRFS
Probably using BTRBK. I'm using it for some time now, and it never failed on me. Here are my BTRBK config files for it: https://github.com/rizzini/Dotfiles.system/tree/master/etc/btrbk

Accidentally deleted my system wide cron job file
At least here, root's cron jobs are stored at /var/spool/cron/root. https://github.com/rizzini/Dotfiles.system/blob/master/var/spool/cron/root

Is there an app that can clear tmp/cache weekly by itself?
PKG_subvol.conf - Clean every 3 days.
-
fstrim going through way too much of the disk every time it runs on boot
Good catch. You really, really should change that behavior. It's not healthy for your SSD. Do it manually or even better, use continuous TRIM setting the discard flag on your fstab like this.
-
What are some of your self made scripts that you're proud of
Anbox script bound to META + A keys. I don't need to open some third-party software, like Waydroid's case, so I start it directly using a Systemd service unit configuration file. Besides that unit file, I made a simple script that opens Anbox and closes it if I run the script again. Script. anbox.service file.

Backup Software for BTRFS
BTRBK on the other hand, it's super flexible and holds lots of possibilities. You can, for example, automatically copy the snapshots to another storage device. You can do that even though SSH if you're into that. Here you can find how I set it up on my environment for my ROOT and HOME subvolumes.

I accidentally programmed my server to back up all files... even backups
That's still easier using snapshots and something like btrbk. Snapshot the directory at start, prune if there are too many snapshots (or snapshots get too old).

Ur best backup software
I'm on Arch, but you might still find it useful: Btrfs snapshots Arch Wiki - Incremental backup to external drive GitHub - btrbk
- Deduplication how to?

Fast and comprehensive system backup. Can Linux software do it?
the smoothest backup tool i have seen for Linux is btrbk works real nice and is customizable for almost all use-cases BTRFS rocks :)

Trying to understand the real impact of not having ECC
I recommend redundancy and regular verification is you want to insure your data against corruption. If you do that, you can forget about things like ECC. My setup is a NUC server running Ubuntu with a USB3-connected storage drive running BTRFS. I use btrbk to auto-snapshot and auto-replicate via incremental sends to my BTRFS backup drive, and RotKraken to track integrity of the data with a monthly verification run so that I notice corruption in time to correct it.

BTRFS snapshots and btrbk as a backup solution
In pondering my backup strategy, I was wondering if I could use BTRFS snapshots and a backup tool like btrbk, which is a nice integrated snapshot/backup solution I've used happily on desktop Linux. BTRFS needs subvolumes for snapshots, so I couldn't backup the host itself (which wasn't installed with a / subvolume like other distributions I've used), but it could snapshot the VMs and containers, which have their own individual subvolumes. Then btrbk can send that snapshot in an incremental fashion to external storage.
-
btrbk: subvolume has no UUID error
I then installed btrbk and tried to follow the instructions to create snapshots of root and home on the SSD and then send/receive those to the HDD. I mainly used https://github.com/digint/btrbk and https://mutschler.dev/linux/fedora-btrfs-35/, but I don't use luks.

The various scripts I use to back up my home computers using SSH and rsync
For anyone using btrfs on their system, I heartily recommend btrbk, which has served me very well for making incremental backups with a customizable retention period: https://github.com/digint/btrbk

incremental snapshot backup tool: which one should i go for?
btrbk is the best solution I know.
-
how do you Backup your system?
I use BTRBK to make and copy the BTRFS snapshots to my HDD. I schedule it to run every 3 hours using a Sytemd unit file through my own script to avoid running the backup at inconvenient moments:
