sshdir

Overview ¶

Package sshdir provides a receiver that can receive snapshots over ssh. It behaves like the directory receiver, but writes the data over an SSH connection. The receiver depends on linux coreutils being available on the destination. For receiving to a btrfs volume over SSH, it is better to pipe the data into btrfs receive or btrsync, as it will be much faster than writing the data to disk and then receiving it. Btrsync does this automatically if the mirror is set to an ssh:// path with the subvolume format.
