The various scripts I use to back up my home computers using SSH and rsync
I find it very, very hard to go wrong with Syncthing (for stuff I truly need replicated, code/photos/text-records) and ZFS + znapzend + rsync.net (automatic snapshots of `/home` and `/var/lib` on servers).<p>The only thing missing is -> I'd like to stop syncing code with Syncthing and instead build some smarter daemon. The daemon would take a manifest of repositories, each with a mapping of worktrees->branches to be actualized and fsmonitored. The daemon would auto-commit changes on those worktrees into a shadow branch and push/pull it. Ideally this could leverage (the very amazing, you must try it) `jj` for continous committing of the working copy and (in the future, with native jj formart) even handle the likely-never-to-happen conflict scenario. (I'd happily collaborate on a Rust impl and/or donate funds to one.)<p>Given the number of worktrees I have of some huge repos (nixpkgs, linux, etc) it would likely mark a significant reduction in CPU/disk usage given what Syncthing is having to do now to monitor/rescan as much as I'm asking it to (given it has to dumb-sync .git, syncs gitignored content, etc, etc).
