December 15, 20232 yr Hello, I'm trying to work up a system similar to Synolgoy Snapshot Replication. I have a share that holds a lot of media (tv, music, movies) and is accesible via SMB. Would it be possible to use Rsnapshot to save snapshots of those files to a different share that is only accessible by root? I don't have much experience with Rsnapshot and I'm also not certain if those snapshots only take up extra space based on file changes, or if it'll actually need to re-copy all of my files first essentially doubling the amount of storage it takes up. I'm just a little afraid of accidentally deleting files or some ransomware locking files through SMB. Everything is backed up offsite, but snapshots would definitely be a plus. share 1 -> media = 20tb of tv and movies accessible by a few users with password protection share 2 -> media-snapshots = snapshots of everything in the media share not avaialble via smb, only availalbe to root
