🌈 After a long beta, I'm happy to announce the release of Wyng version v0.8.0!   Many new features and usability improvements were added since the prior release, including encryption, Btrfs support and fast differential restore. You can get it from Codeberg at https://codeberg.org/tasket/wyng-backup

What is Wyng? Its a backup system for large objects such as LVM volumes, disk images and database files with a focus on speed and security. It has space-saving snapshot management and uses copy-on-write information to accelerate incremental backups so that even terabyte sized volumes can be updated in just seconds. Unlike btrfs-send, Wyng's archive format requires no special filesystem on the back end, and its attack surface is also low since it handles information only as blocks. Wyng is ideally suited to backing up systems that use LVM or disk images where a frequent backup schedule and low impact on system resources is desired.

@neil @ai6yr @restic I'd say an external #SATA-SSD in an enclosure with #brtfs or "journalless #ext4" works fine.

• Maybe consider a cheap multi-port case with #HDDs and using #dmraid for #RAID-based failsafe?
