It's A Digital Disease!

I'm looking for a smart and automatic way of using snapshots for my media files (right now I have none), which tools or solutions would you recommend?

(not sure if this is still true) Post from 2021 mentions some of the pitfalls about snapshot management and the need for a "smart pruning algorithm" so only important or most relevant snapshots are kept - while those with the least amount of file changes can be discarded.

Filesystem wise: ZFS or btrfs is ok with me. I primarily run proxmox or native debian OS as headless servers... so ideally "web based" solution would be ideal... but totally OK with command line tools.

So far I have found:

• btrfs - https://github.com/mbideau/btrfs-savepoints - has the smarts i linked above - no updates since 2021.
• btrfs - https://github.com/digint/btrbk probably the most often mentioned tool in this group...
