Ah, so you are not talking about just backing up your directories and files, you are talking about backing up the snapshot history, too? I feel an infinite regress coming on. I haven't played with btrfs in part because I feared that once I could make easy and cheap snapshots, I might actually start to *use* them, on a regular basis, and I could get lost in a mire of time travel. What happens when I start using snapshots of things like git trees? Horrors, violations of Nature and threats to sanity. Life is easier when one lives in the present and resists forking the past. I have never concluded that, impressive as btrfs is, it would improve my life. With great power comes great responsibility, I am not sure btrfs would be worth it to mortal me. -kb, the Kent who can be heard muttering something about "nested deduplication" as he retreats, shaking his head, looking tired.
