I have a small home server running Ubuntu Server with a ZFS file system. To back up my files and use snapshots, I am currently using zfs-autobackup, which is easy to set up and works really well for ZFS. However, zfs-autobackup does not provide any information on files or folders that have been created, updated, or deleted from previous backups. While I am not too concerned about newly created or updated files, I would like to know which files have been deleted compared to the previous backup. Ideally, I would like to be able to see which files have been deleted before the backup takes place, so I can recover any unwanted deletions before it's too late.
