yabsm: a btrfs snapshot manager and backup system
Hello! I released an aur package for yabsm, my btrfs snapshot manager and backup system. I have been developing yabsm for a few years now, but am just getting around to packaging it for distributions. I'm still working on packaging it for other distributions, but Arch came first.
- Looking for feedback on my manual

Testing Code That is Difficult to Test (With Perl)
I have been working on the next major release of my btrfs snapshot manager yabsm and I want to write unit tests for functions that take and delete btrfs snapshots. This code performs the side effect of taking and deleting snapshots and depends on the OS having a btrfs subvolume available that the user running the program has read+write permissions on.

New to BTRFS - New System Setup
For timed snapshots you can checkout my btrfs snapshot manager yabsm. I just released version 2.5.5 today! Yabsm lets you take snapshots and perform both local and remote backups on 5minute, hourly, daily, weekly, and monthly timeframes. It also comes with a simple query language for locating your snapshots and backups.

YABSM version 2.1 released. Feedback welcome.
Please take a look at the project on github.
-
Any open source projects going on now I could help with?
If so you could help me on my btrfs snapshot manager.
-
Did i mess everything up?
Glad you solved your problem. If you are having trouble with btrbk/timeshift you can use try my btrfs snapshot manager.

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:
