backup all subvolumes #21

Open tim-seoss opened 8 years ago

tim-seoss commented 8 years ago

Some way to backup all subvolumes (or maybe pattern-match?) for a particular remote filesystem would be great. In my use-case, remote subvolumes are created dynamically by other software (lxd), and it'd be useful to have all subvolumes backed up automatically.

I don't have plans for integrating support for groups of backup jobs as I would consider it a higher level building block, possibly making use of btrfs-sxbackup command line or api with a complexity of its own. However, btrfs-sxbackup does have shallow support for running batches of jobs via shell expansion (eg.) and if it's just pattern matching you could probably easily automate the creation of backup jobs according to your needs by writing your own script.

Im still open for suggestions, ideas or contributions in that area, but I don't have resources to implement it in a way I would currently consider reasonable or complete.
