A while back I started coding a new UI for Urbackup. I originally tried to integrate it with the Windows server and eventually gave up and focused on Linux. I finally got some time to recode most of what I had started. Still finding and fixing issues, looking for input.

Hi, just a quick note about REPLICATION.
Using rsync and/or SSH is no good for server using btrfs because all of the space saving done by btrfs’s sub-volumes and snapshots will be lost as neither rsync or (various) SSH methods don’t understand btrfs snapshots etc.
You could try and backup only the top-level of each client’s folder/s which would give(at least) one copy for (exmple) offline backup.
I myself have been working on a shell script that will copy upto a depth of X for a given start date of Y for all clients in the server database. This script “knows” how to deal with btrfs parent/child relationships that are implemented by urbackup as sub-volumes and snapshots.
One thing ….that may help if you want to investigate btrfs replication is that the folders that are named after the client/virtual sub client….are NOT sub-volumes or snapshots ….it is the contents of these folders that contain the snapshots etc.
If you would like a copy of the script thus far (it’s incomplete) then let me know a way to send it to you.
Best of luck
David
