How long do you keep your backups? What software do you use

• btrbk

  79 1,528 6.7 Perl

  Tool for creating snapshots and remote backups of btrfs subvolumes

I also use btrfs, but I use btrbk to manage the snapshots. I use some scripts I made called btrbk-pac so that every time I use pacman, I get snapshots before and after the transaction, logging the affected packages in a file (tbh I'm not super proud of the solution, and started making a cleaner Rust version some months ago which uses yaml for configs, but never got around to finishing it). That's for the stuff under /, while I just have a cronjob take care of hourly snapshots for /home.

  My config files (by felipec)

I wrote my own software (backup) to backup my home directory using rsync, except a list of excludes which I configure with a YAML file: backup/main.yml.
