User manual — rmlint (2.8.0 Maidenly Moose) documentation https://rmlint.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ #duplicates #filesystem #opensource #rmlint #remove #search #script #linux #rm

After having several troubles with #backuppc, which used to be my tried and true reliable backup server software, I am looking at other ways of doing things.

I have learned that #btrfs file system has features that include not taking up extra disk space when making a copy and that #rmlint can be run on a schedule to de-duplicate.

I think some scripting, cron and rsync on top of btrfs may be a more long term reliable solution to how I'd like to do backup than specialized software.

@10leej Hey, I know that you use and like #btrfs. I haven't used it yet, but am considering it as it may take up less storage space with its copy and de-duplicating abilities (paired with #rmlint)

What is the short list of reasons you like BTRFS ?
