⛔ I recommend Snapper for taking snapshots of your system. ⛔
Create snapshots automatically with a configuration file !
To install this script, first clone this repository:
$ git clone https://github.com/kaniville/btrfs-autosnap
$ cd btrfs-autosnap
You can now copy the different files to their respective locations:
# mv snapshot.py /usr/local/bin/snapshot
# mkdir /etc/pacman.d/hooks
# mv snapshot.hook /etc/pacman.d/hooks/snapshot.hook
And finally, generate the default configuration file:
# snapshot --generate
You can display the help by entering the command snapshot --help.
Snapshots are created automatically before each Archlinux update.
You can configure some options and choose which subvolumes will be snapshot by editing /etc/snapshot/snapshot.conf:
[subvolumes] # You can add subvolumes here
root = /
[main] # Constants
snapshot_dir = /.snapshots
keep_snapshots = 5
