Yup, aware what ZFS could do. I was not going to suggest it since they are talking about a personal git server. ZFS likes memory, lots of it. Rsnapshot is a simple perl script that uses rsync. The backups and snapshots are wherever you point it to. Local, remote, both, 20 other locations if you are so inclined.

The stories about ZFS memory consumption are largely exaggerated. But I do take your point :)
