I want to keep a duplicate copy of the HTPC data, on the backup server, and I think a regular full file copy is not optimal and may take days to do. So I'm looking for a way to sync the arrays at some interval. Ideally the sync would scan the HTPC with a CRC check to look for differences, copy over the differences, then email me on success. Is there a BTRFS tool that would do this?
There is the command btrfs subvolume find-new which lists the file which have the data (but not the metadata) changed. But it is a very low level tool. I tried to enhance this command ( see a my post titled "[RFC] Improve btrfs subvolume find-new command"), but I never finished this work. Regards G.Baroncelli
