Hello,

First let me answer your first question : No, It's not AI generated.

I started working on a new project geared towards small self-hosted environment which automate the use of snapshot to reduce downtime when doing offline backups.

Instead of waiting for the entire external backup to finish to restart the service LaManager create a instantaneous snapshot using Copy on Write (COW) restart the service and upload the external backups reducing downtime significantly.

More details in the readme.md.

Warning the project is still very early so there might be rough edge and bugs, be careful. However I hope to be able to make something nice and usefull out of it.

PS: It is my first post on lemmy after looking around without account here for a while, the lack of history is not me being a bot, I'm just new here.

    I’m just new here.

    Welcome to the club bro!

    I've bookmarked the project for reading later on this evening. I'll probably have questions then. Thank you for sharing your project with us.

    After putting it to prod on my homeserver and running some test with a slow remote (a friend homeserver). I was able to have ~30 seconds downtime total across all services for a backup that needed 35 minutes to complete.

    Usually an offline backups would have needed to have downtime for the entire 35 minutes to ensure a consistant state. Here i have the same guaranties for much cheaper.

    note that the situation I have somewhat extreme but it shows well the benefits.
