feature request: resume mode if there is a recent enough snapshot already #198

Open ian-kelling opened 6 years ago

ian-kelling commented 6 years ago

I'm wondering how how the maintainer feels about having this in btrbk, I'm interested in writing the code. Maybe a config option like snapshot_create_recent {h,d,w,m,y}.

ian-kelling commented 6 years ago

The main reason I would use this is that I run a script that calls btrbk, but sometimes doesn't complete after btrbk finishes.

This sounds like a good idea, but somehow contradicts snapshot_create always which would also have to be set.

Maybe something like snapshot_create recent {h,d,w,m,y}? (The naming is not optimal in my opinion, maybe we can find something less ambiguous than "recent")

Sounds good. Any name you think of is fine with me. When writing the code I'll see if something else comes to mind.

Update: won't have time to work on this anytime soon. Anyone can take this up, or you can feel free to close it.
