qatlib VS zfs-autosnapshot

It also seems to suggest that it could accelerate hyperscan, but considering the hardware and software are both from Intel and they don't integrate them, maybe it doesn't work or is theoretical.

> Systems are set up to automatically make snapshots

I do that with sqlite to keep a selection of snapshots from the last hours, days etc.

I don't know about timeshift, but if you want to make snapshots on a 6 minute timer and keep the 10 most recent zfs snapshots for each of 10 month, day, hour check: https://github.com/csdvrx/zfs-autosnapshot

if you're using zfs, try my zfs-autosnapshot: you get automatic snapshots every 6 minutes, converted in bookmarks then removed when it'd take too much disk space https://github.com/csdvrx/zfs-autosnapshot

You need different rolling periods, each embedded into the other (ex: last 5 hours + last 5 days + last 5 weeks + ...) : check https://github.com/csdvrx/zfs-autosnapshot which has a tweakable logic, and brings in budgeted free-space to prune if required based on the least useful also using the most space.

ZFS

Since they are all taking from the available space of the pool, you can have as many partitions as you need, which is very practical for snapshots and diffs

Look at the set of partitions I recommend on https://github.com/csdvrx/zfs-autosnapshot:

zfs create -o mountpoint=/ nvme/7275

My own snapshotter (https://github.com/csdvrx/zfs-autosnapshot) works on a clock, and recursively: rolling back to 20210306231557 would roll back all the datasets (/usr /var /etc ...)
