Snapers

License: OQL Simple small utility for making BTRFS snapshots

Usage

Pretty much everything is visible when you run snapers -h, but in general:

snapers -s /@snapshots / will:

  • Take snapshot of root directory
  • Save new snapshot using default naming scheme (16 characters of UUID V7 + current date) inside /@snapshots folder
  • (-s) Create 'latest' link inside target folder, which will point to the newest snapshot

There's also available -c options which allows specifying custom name for snapshot
