BTRFS Automatic Snapshot Service for Linux

Usage

-----


btrfs-auto-snapshot [foo]



btrfs-auto-snapshot is a Bash script designed to bring as much of the functionality

of the wonderful ZFS snapshot tool zfs-auto-snapshot to BTRFS as possible. Designed to

run from cron (using /etc/cron.{daily,hourly,weekly}) it automatically

creates a snapshot of the specified BTRFS filesystem (or, optionally, all of

them) and then automatically purges the oldest snapshots of that type

(hourly, daily, et al) based on a user-defined retention policy.

Snapshots are stored in a '.btrfs' directory at the root of the BTRFS

filesystem being snapped and are read-only by default.

Requirements

------------

* GNU Bash (with associative arrays)

* GNU Coreutils

* GNU grep

* GNU awk

* getopt

* btrfs-progs

* (optional) syslog
