Obviously the first choice is zfs snapshots but if you're like me, that's not a choice. I'd recommend something like borg backup: https://github.com/borgbackup/borg/ http://borgbackup.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ It's a python written app that will dedup your data so there's a chance it can compress and dedup your large datasets very nicely. The maintainer is very active with keeping it current and 1.0.3 is available in ports/pkg: http://www.freshports.org/archivers/py-borgbackup/ As you will see in the documentation, you can make a script and call it with cron however often/irregular you would like and have it also prune. I think it's worth trying out for your use case. -- ------- inum: 883510009027723 sip: jungleboogie@sip2sip.info xmpp: jungle-boogie@jit.si
