I'd like to keep a "snapshots/versions" of a folder containing lots of huge binary files. The folder contains all my backups made via rsync/rclone/scp/whatever.
Since the source can be corrupted/hacked whatever, I'd like to keep all the versions.
We all know git/subversion aren't made for files other than text and I wonder if there is a more general tool for that purpose.
I'll exclusively use linux.
Great docs, amazing code, awesome community.
Quick start guide:
Install it with sudo apt-get install git-annex then it's on to managing your data just like you'd do with git.
git init
git annex init "main-backup"
git annex add # if you don't specify any paths, it adds everything
# it'll hash your files and store them inside the .git folder with their hash as their filenames
git commit -m "Add my most important files"
