@britter Very interesting indeed. The link to https://garagehq.deuxfleurs.fr/documentation/quick-start/ was also interesting. I am going with zfs and sending snapshots from the main (mirrored) SSD to a raidZ2 array of HDDs and copy to a set of disks in https://amzn.eu/d/0h2aDga2 as ext4 SATA as 1 grab and run and 6 month, 4 month, 2 month, 1 month and 2 week air gaped ZFS backups.
