Hi list, while discussing the snap-schedule module, a feature request for protecting snapshots against deletion came up.
Where/when did this discussion happen? +Venky/+Daniel have been planning work on this and should be in the loop.
This is partly tied to the scheduled pruning, when a user wants to protect an individual snapshot from being pruned. It could however also be used to protect individual snapshots from being accidentally deleted.
Another possibility would be to have a snapshot copy operation. Then the snapshot with a generated schedule based name could be saved by the user. I don't know yet how technically difficult that would be.
Is a virtual xattr on a virtual directory a bad idea?
