Hello. I see there are some backup tools taking advantage of BtrFS's incremental send/receive feature: https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Incremental_Backup. [BTW Ames Cornish's ButterSink (https://github.com/AmesCornish/buttersink) seems to be missing from that page.] Now I'd like to know if anyone has evolved some good practices w.r.t maintaining the data of two systems in sync using this feature of BtrFS. What I have in mind is: I work on my desktop by default, and for ergonomics reasons only use my laptop when I need the mobility. I'd like to keep the main data (documents I create, programs I write etc) in sync between the two. (The profile data such as in the ~/.* hidden folders had better stay separate though, I guess.) I figure with the existing tools it would not be too difficult to maintain a synced set of snapshots between the two systems if I only use the desktop vs laptop alternatingly and sync at each switchover, but the potential problem only would come if I modify both (something like having to do git merge, I guess). Has anyone come across this situation and evolved any policies to handle it? -- Shriramana Sharma ஶ்ரீரமணஶர்மா श्रीरमणशर्मा -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
