After having several troubles with , 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 file system has features that include not taking up extra disk space when making a copy and that 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.
