So if the author is here some feedback:
You should rewrite this with libdevmapper instead of shelling out to 10's of shell tools. It will likely be both more robust, faster and result in cleaner logic.
Otherwise the idea looks great. I would also consider adding native cloud storage option, ala S3 and friends as that would make it the most useful.
- minimalist 5y agoI remember this tool coming out of the Qubes community, where people seem to be justifiably skeptical to adding dependencies. Also if this were to run in say Dom0, a shell script is easier to use and inspect than installing applications in the privileged environment that may be stuck on whatever old version your Dom0 environment may be. So, please keep it as is, continue to do this one thing well, and leave cloud synchronization to the number of other tools already exist to this end. I wonder if it is useful to consider the duties of backup (which may include version) and synchronization as separate. At least it helps me not fall for the false security in thinking that one system will just do everything.

Egress bandwidth is insanely expensive for almost all cloud providers. GCP is $0.12/GB, so downloading a 1TB backup would cost you $120. You can get a 64TB Hetzner server for 79 euros a month + free bandwidth: https://www.hetzner.com/dedicated-rootserver/matrix-sx https://www.hetzner.com/dedicated-rootserver/matrix-sx
