Ask r/kubernetes: What are you working on this week?
I've discovered inotify-tools and lsyncd as options and POC proves that it's possible to detect filesystem changes on a shared emptydir in a pod. Now it's just time to truly prove it out.

Backing up a backup
To sync files between NAS hosts/network locations, you can use rsync. It allows synchronizing files and folders, building a 1:1 data structure. https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/rsync.1.html If you need bidirectional file sync, you can use lsyncd on top of rsync https://github.com/axkibe/lsyncd
- Regular incremental backups of millions of files?

Is there a backup software that supports differential backup/sync?
To sync files between two disks, you can use rsync. It allows synchronizing files and folders, building a 1:1 data structure. On top of rsync, Lsyncd allows configuring automatic bidirectional file synchronization if needed. https://github.com/axkibe/lsyncd If you need a GUI-based tool, you can use FreeFileSync, Syncthing, MSP360. They also allow you to perform differential sync between two drives. https://www.vmwareblog.org/single-cloud-enough-secure-backups-5-cool-cross-cloud-solutions-consider/

Is there something that monitors your code as you're working and re-executes it on the command line every time it notices a change?
inotify-tools should be able to help, you can use inotifywait to watch for file system changes in a directory and run a command when something changes.
