Patrik, thank you. I've enabled the SAMBA module, which may help in the future. Does the GUI file manager (i.e. Nautilus) need special support? Andrea, thank you for the link. bup is impressive but does it work well with btrfs snapshots? My live drive contains the main volume alongside many snapshots and the associated bloat from moved/deleted files. There's not room for another copy of everything, even if it's deduplicated. Perhaps I could switch one of the backup drives and the cloud to bup, but how well would bup work diffing all those snapshots when the backup drive is plugged in? ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ Original Message ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ On Monday, May 20, 2019 10:34 AM, Patrik Lundquist <patrik.lundquist@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > On Mon, 20 May 2019 at 02:36, Andrei Borzenkov arvidjaar@xxxxxxxxx wrote: > > > 19.05.2019 11:11, Newbugreport пишет: > > > > > I have 3-4 years worth of snapshots I use for backup purposes.
