Currently, I have a nightly cronjob that rsyncs my SSD to my HD on my laptop. Of course, running rsync on an entire FS every night is slow, especially if I happen to try to use the laptop at the same time. Obviously, that's what btrfs send/receive is supposed to fix: https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Design_notes_on_Send/Receive http://lwn.net/Articles/506244/ It's been around for about 1.5 years now, so I was curious if others had converted to it for backups when indeed the wiki has the CYA 'if you use for backups, you get what you deserve' :) Is it still being worked on, or kind of frozen/good as is?
