Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Should I be using zfs replicate, mirror, or something else entirely?
Sanoid/syncoids been mentioned but honestly for once a week learning by doing . Pyznap also excellent when you want to automate. https://github.com/yboetz/pyznap

Vdevs and snapshots?
In contrast, zfs snapshots are immutable, and thus anything short of a hardware failure can be addressed with a simple zfs rollback command. This includes deliberate, accidental, and malicious actions. They can also be automated (I personally use pyznap but syncoid is also quite popular), creating what is effectively an incremental backup. I maintain - for each dataset - 24 hourly, 7 daily, 6 monthly, and 1 yearly snapshot. Additionally, I have a wholly separate server that wakes up once a day to ingest these snapshots via zfs send/recv, so even if I made a horrible mistake or suffered a catastrophic hardware failure, I could completely restore from the other server. This last point brings snapshots firmly into the realm of backups, IMO.

Sanoid for snapshots management?
Another favorite option is Pyznap, which is python based and originally created to have have a few features and changes compared to sanoid. The author is also active here on reddit. I and not sure what the differences are anymore, it'll come down to trying them and preference.

A small script to wake up a node that doesn't like to boot
I have two Supermicro X9 2Us, each with Proxmox. One has allegedly existed solely as a backup target, which wakes up daily to ingest ZFS snapshots using pyznap. Unfortunately, for reasons which are unclear, this particular node doesn't always like to see its boot device, which is an NVMe drive. It's the exact same board as my primary, with the exact same modified BIOS to allow booting from NVMe. It usually takes 2-3 cycles before it'll see it and boot.

Pros/cons of visible dataset for backups vs. only snapshots
I have two nearly identical systems, both running Proxmox, with Debian VMs. One is a backup, which (once this is worked out) will wake up daily to ingest incremental backups. I'm using pyznap to handle the backup strategy.

Two things I want to try this month are:

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?
