  • btrbk

    Tool for creating snapshots and remote backups of btrfs subvolumes

You can do that even though SSH if you're into that. Here you can find how I set it up on my environment for my ROOT and HOME subvolumes.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
