✨ NAME ✨

ok so bestie, meet foosnapper — your new automatic filesystem snapshotter 💖 she's giving main character energy and honestly? she's iconic. this page lives in section 8 of the manual (that's the sysadmin zone, iykyk 👑).

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

foosnapper

no args, no flags, no drama. she just... goes. 🦋

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so Foosnapper is an automatic filesystem snapshotter ✨ and she supports Stratis and BTRFS filesystems. both of them!! a versatile queen 🎀

the way that you can configure the snapshot interval and the retention <em>per filesystem</em>? obsessed. literally per filesystem. every fs gets to live its own truth 💜

🫶 heads up bestie: peep /etc/foosnapper.conf for example configuration and documentation. she's got the receipts.

🎀 FILES 🎀

  • Foosnapper reads configuration files from /etc/foosnapper/*.conf.

that's the whole vibe. drop your .conf files in there and she'll find them 🍓
