Re: backups with git

Dear all,

I'm thinking of using git as a backup solution for my whole system, setting
my $GIT_DIR to something like "/backupdisc/backup". Does that seem sensible?
In his Google tech talk, Linus said that git was not good at huge projects;
I guess that would apply to backups. On the other hand, maybe a backup
doesn't need to be as fast as he wants git to be for projects. Has anybody
used git like this? And was it a good experience?

Perhaps you want something more like btrfs.
