snapintime 1.0.0

A program for creating, culling, and remote backup of btrfs snapshots

snapintime is meant to manage the creation, culling, and send to a remote location of btrfs snapshots.

As of version 0.11.0, it creates snapshots, culls local snapshots three days old, a week old, and for the previous quarter. It can also btrfs send/receive to a remote btrfs subvol.

Culling:

• Three days ago: Leave at most 4 snapshots behind - closest snapshots to 0000, 0600, 1200, and 1800. (implemented)

• Seven days ago: Leave at most 1 snapshot behind - the last one that day. In a perfect situation, it would be the one taken at 1800. (implemented)

• After a quarter (defined as 13 weeks) - Leave at most 1 snapshot per week. (implemented)

• After a year (52 weeks) - Leave at most 1 snapshot per quarter (implemented)
