After having several troubles with #backuppc, which used to be my tried and true reliable backup server software, I am looking at other ways of doing things.
I have learned that #btrfs file system has features that include not taking up extra disk space when making a copy and that #rmlint can be run on a schedule to de-duplicate.
I think some scripting, cron and rsync on top of btrfs may be a more long term reliable solution to how I'd like to do backup than specialized software.

#rmlint is a filesystem junk cleaner.
rmlint is a simple tool that scans a directory or a set of files for duplicates, empty files/directories, orphaned files, and several other problematic things. After rmlint finishes scanning it creates a #JSON file and shell script which contains the to be removed files. Running the shell script deletes these files after confirmation.
