Good alternatives, though not offering the feature set of BTRFS, are Ext4, JFS and XFS. On file system choice: BTRFS is not fully mature yet and it may have issues if used for boot partitions. ![]() (TL DR: you can, particularly for games and personal data. ![]() But that’s fine, you’ll have your reasoning and I’m sure it’s valid for your circumstances.Īnyway, I’d recommend delving into the Linux directory tree hierarchy, as it’ll answer your questions by itself once you understand how the tree works. ![]() I plan on learning more cli (noobish) in a VM after the system is fully operational, hence preferring a GUI.įirst, I can’t find a reason for your setup, other then having a very small capacity disk for particularly the OS. I sincerely appreciate any and all help and insights. What open-source program (preferably with a GUI) can I do all of this with? I already plan on using Timeshift for OS snapshots, and as I understand it, that is ALL that Timeshift does. I do Synthetic Full backups with one Full and 60 Incrementals (one per day) all while using Intelligent Sector Copy, verify image and e-mailing for success or failure. I currently use Macrium Reflect for daily, full system automatic backups. Secondly, I have an external direct attached QNAP device for RAID 1 backup with two Seagate Exos 16TB drives. What Linux folders do I need to mount separately at install to achieve this same type of set up? Also, is formatting the entire system as btrfs a good idea or JUST the OS drive? I like all of the features of btrfs, but am unsure if it is a good idea for the whole system.
