There's always zfs send and zfs receive, but these don't work automatically.

  The ZFS tools don't really cover the case of ignoring a bunch of transient files in your home directory that you don't want to sync around. Things like browser temp files, etc.

    You know, this aspect of versioning a home directory is basically why home directories aren't versioned very often. That being said, if you want to "version your home directory", I think that zfs is the best approach. Also, transient files and browser temp files should reside on /tmp AFAIK... So that's less of an issue. If you application is writing temporary files outside of /tmp, then it's probably a bug.

      Take your chrome browser history. That doesn't really belong in /tmp, but it's also not something that's going to sync around well with zfs, either.
