@progrium Also we could improvise off this and make it better https://t.co/4NF559AILY
Basically we would modify the snapshot location. Just like making a shadow copy. So it would logically be very lightweight and time efficient.
@progrium Try this: https://t.co/SRW4pHgiXB
Also, just an FYI I tested this on a base install of macOS, so my test are not going to be as good as your test. Also if you want we could write a script that is triggered on a file change. Then we could utilize APFS to automatically clone it!
@progrium So, I found some interesting stuff:
Hourly backups are kept for 24 hours, daily backups are kept for a month, and weekly backups are kept indefinitely, as long as there is space on your Time Machine drive.
I did find a solution to hourly backups to last indefinitely.
