btrfsmaintenance VS borgmatic

Take a look at setting this up for your distro: https://github.com/kdave/btrfsmaintenance

Your distro might already have this https://github.com/kdave/btrfsmaintenance installed or in the repos

Is there a btrfs management interface that can be accessed/used remotely? I'm talking about an (independant - not a distro) interface like Rockstor or Truenas Scale. I've been searching until my eyes bug out of my skull and I can't find anything. Good peeps of reddit, please am I missing something? I've found plenty of great projects but not what I'm looking for: snapper-gui - single purpose/not remote snapper - single purpose / not a gui and I hate it (sorry) yast - distro specific https://github.com/yourbsod/btrfs-gui - vaporware? timeshift / autosnap - local only and single purpose btrfs-assistant - not remote https://github.com/kdave/btrfsmaintenance - different purpose and not a gui buttermanager - I was unable to try but seems to require grub-btrfs

The btrfsmaintainence project also has services that cover scrub along with other services you might consider running regularly which are set up to not conflict and run at the same time.

- for important files, a separate box where I have borgmatic [1] in deduplication mode installed; this is updated once in a while

Just curious: Do you have any reason to believe that such a data corruption bug is likely in ZFS? It seems like saying that ext4 could have a bug and you should also store stuff on NTFS, just in case (which I think does not make sense..).

Not really dumb. I do use them too but with Borgbackup on the top (since they support it natively).

I found Borgmatic ( https://torsion.org/borgmatic/ ) to be the best way to run my backups. It takes care of everything from pruning to verifying the checksum etc... and it integrates with some monitoring (like cronitor).

So Borgmatic + rsync.net is the best combo

For backups I use Borg myself. If you need a GUI, you can use Vorta or Pika. With borgmatic, there is also a wrapper that extends the range of functions of Borg.

Furthermore, Borgmatic is a wrapper for Borg that extends or improves the range of functions.

For those of you not familiar, borgmatic is a very convenient tool which runs as a wrapper around borg.

I recommend Borg and Borgmatic. Automated, easy to setup, capable of notifying you if anything happens, deduplication and compression makes backups smaller, etc.

To add to this, Borg backup can be a little daunting to configure. There is a wrapper script called Borgmatic that distills it down to a single yaml config file. There are also some cloud hosts like BorgBase and rsync.net with native Borg support.
