  These are policy-driven snapshot management and replication tools which use OpenZFS for underlying next-gen storage. (Btrfs support plans are shelved unless and until btrfs becomes reliable.)

Given ZFS it's potentially worth looking at https://github.com/jimsalterjrs/sanoid

  Recursive ZFS snapshot mounter

I wrote https://github.com/Freaky/zfsnapr a few months ago so I could finally have point-in-time consistent Borg backups with ZFS snapshots, without having the mess of teaching Borg where every .zfs directory was.

It recursively snapshots mounted pools, and recursively mounts snapshots of the mounted datasets into a target ready to point your backup tools at. I do so via a chroot so I didn't need to make any changes to my Borg setup - just to how I run it.
