Is it possible to use DRDB to mirror just certain folders and not the entire filesystem?
jelly 2017-01-24 21:37:38
msevwork: no
msevwork 2017-01-24 21:37:48
so just the entire filesystem?
jelly 2017-01-24 21:38:05
the entire block device (with the filesystem on it)
msevwork 2017-01-24 21:38:26
what would then be a solution for auto-backuping just certain folders and files to another separate disk?
jelly 2017-01-24 21:38:37
a file-based backup

own/nextcloud, rsync with cronjob
jelly 2017-01-24 21:39:13
msevwork: the simplest thing might be something rsync based, like dirvish or rsnapshot

jelly is it possible to configure those two that when a new file would be detected in a folder it would automatically copy/backup the new files to the second drive?
jelly 2017-01-24 21:44:49
msevwork: no, those particular rsync wrappers just set up a daily cron job. There's a tool similar to rsync called lsyncd that tracks fs changes in a folder, but I have no idea how reliable it is
