ResilioSync (ex BtSync) and BTRFS snapshots

Just a word of caution if you're using ResilioSync (former BTSync) and the "SnapshotReplicator" (BTRFS) and have "make snapshots visible"-option enabled. ResilioSync will sync the "#snapshots" directory aswell and you most likely wouldn't want that (your sync-destinations will run out of diskspace!) I've discussed this "feature" with Resilio but they have no intentions of fixing it so you have to manually configure the "#snapshot" folder to be skipped. To do this, go to your Synced-folder and check out the ".sync"-folder. Here you have a file called "IgnoreList". Open this with your favourite texteditor and add a line like this: "?snapshot" (without the " of course). This will make ResilioSync to skip the snapshot-folder.

Delete all your local backupjobs!

Almost since the first day I got my NAS I faced a new problem.. How should I backup all my precious data on my NAS? I currently have (had) a few local backupjobs to backup important folders (for versioning) and to a remote server in case of theft/house burns down/whatever. Anyway, I just discovered that using snapshots (on BTRFS-volumes) is pretty convenient to use instead of HyperBackup. You can configure it to make a snapshot at certain intervals so it works almost like HyperBackup but works alot faster. The drawback is of course that the UI of the "Snapshot Replicator"-tool is not that attractive but it simply lists all your snapshots so you can go back in time to see how your folder looked at a specific time.
