snapintime 1.3.1

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 1.0.0, it creates snapshots, culls according to the list below, and 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)

• 90 days ago: Go from that date up another 90 days and leave at most 1 snapshot per week. (implemented)

• 365 days ago: Go form that date up another 365 days and leave at most 1 snapshot per quarter (implemented)

(Not going to care about leap years, eventually it’ll fix itself if this is run regularly)
