Single-device Btrfs and its core features like snapshotting and compression are very solid, it is silly trying to "cast doubt" on those. Thousands of people use Btrfs for their primary storage, it is certainly more than stable enough to be used for backups (which by definition are just a copy of stuff also existing elsewhere). And yeah rsync+Btrfs snapshotting are an amazing combination, it works really well for backups, and the easiness of the workflow to access older versions of a file or the whole dir tree is unsurpassed by anything imaginable. -- With respect, Roman -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
