Hi,
is there functionality present in the Merlin distribution that allows for taking snapshots of a file system as part of mirroring cloud storage?
My goal is simple: I have cloud storage. I want to have a full local copy of that, versioned.
Idea:
* have btrfs
* run cron job with rsync-like feature (Python script?) to download only
--> local copy of all cloud storage
In theory, with btrfs supporting snapshots and deduplication, this mechanism should work for some period of time without requiring too much maintenance.
The reason for snapshots is to protect against attacks against cloud storage - if files are deleted from cloud storage by an unauthorized party, these files would still be present in one of the snapshots on the mirror.
Looking at the Asus firmware, I only recognize EXT and JBD file systems in the list of kernel modules. How is the Merlin firmware doing in this area?
