No, Foxing is one of my favorite indie-rock bands from the St. Louis area.

How would you replicate: rsync -avz -e "ssh" user@remote_host:/path/to/source/ /path/to/destination/

Something like this? fxcp snap export /path/to/source/ | ssh user@remote_host -t 'fxcp snap import /path/to/destination/'

Promising; kinda feels like a hopefully-better syncthing, albeit I think one-direction?

Anyways, some hopefully constructive questions that I don't see in the readme:

* Is sync done in cleartext? (Or am I misunderstanding the model and this expects you to handle the network layer yourself with eg. NFS?)

* How are conflicts handled?

* Actually, in general where does this land on CAP? (There's a section titled "Consistency" but it doesn't really answer what I want to know)

> If enable_versioning is active, the daemon creates zero-cost reflink snapshots on fsync:

* How does it handle filesystems that doesn't have that feature? (XFS and BTRFS are easy, but this says it supports ext4)

(And to be clear, none of these are meant as criticisms of the actual software; they're things that the user should know the answer to, not questions that have to have a specific answer)

It reads to me like encryption is handled one layer below this by NFS. I would naively assume this should be set up with external changes disallowed since it is capturing and replaying fs events.

I would love to see a replacement for syncthing though. Something with less config knobs, that 'just works' and handles conflicts more intelligently.
