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/

Not openSUSE specific but what's the best backup utility?
I'm using rsnapshot. It's based on rsync. It's fully automated and I make daily and monthly backups backup to my NAS. The biggest benefit of rsnapshot is that it uses hardlinks. So only changed files are backed up. It doesn't have a GUI though, you have to set a configuration file.

Python Port of 600 Line Bash Script: rsync-time-machine.py for Rsync Backups
The description sounds like it does largely the same job as rsnapshot (https://rsnapshot.org/). What does yours do differently from rsnapshot?
- Redundancy and bit-rot protection on a single drive
- The fastest rm command and one of the fastest cp commands
- Do you perform offline backups for your NAS?
- Question: Backups anti ransomware
What are some alternatives?
When comparing Lsyncd and Rsnapshot you can also consider the following projects:
restic - Fast, secure, efficient backup program
BorgBackup - Deduplicating archiver with compression and authenticated encryption.
watchman - Watches files and records, or triggers actions, when they change.
TimeShift - System restore tool for Linux. Creates filesystem snapshots using rsync+hardlinks, or BTRFS snapshots. Supports scheduled snapshots, multiple backup levels, and exclude filters. Snapshots can be restored while system is running or from Live CD/USB.
