---

Description:

This is a written on bash script with Pacman hook which help make btrfs root snapshots fast and simple. If your OS is Archlinux-based, Pacman hook will make snapshots before any change

Current features:

• Hook will detect if your root filesystem is btrfs subvolume. If yes, it'll make snapshot of it.
• Also you can manage snapshots: list and delete old ones. Use -h or --help key.
• Script will work even if your root is LUKS container.

Requirements:

btrfs-progs util-linux coreutils

Also Archlinux-based OS for pacman hook.

Installing:

# git clone https://github.com/vvl-rulez/btrfs-autosnap.git
# cd btrfs-autosnap/
# sudo install -Dm644 btrfs-autosnap.conf /etc/btrfs-autosnap.conf
# sudo install -Dm755 btrfs-autosnap.sh /usr/bin/btrfs-autosnap

If your OS is Archlinux-based, you can also install pacman hook:

# sudo cp 01-btrfs-autosnap.hook /usr/share/libalpm/hooks/01-btrfs-autosnap.hook

Profit! P.S. You can install it by AUR package.
