I would like to backup snapshots (e.g., btrfs, lvm, shadow mounts) of my shares so that I can get a (more) accurate point-in-time backup.
To do so, I would like to preserve the share name as pointing to the original but have the actual backup point to the snapshot location. I am able to do this when using rsyncd, since the rsyncd.conf has an independent path assigned to each share that I can set to the snapshot location. I have not been able to figure out how to do this for rsync itself. Ideally, there would be something equivalent to ClientNameAlias, that would allow one to create a path alias for each share. Perhaps a hash similar to BackupFilesExclude that would allow this alias to be defined on a share by share basis. Then in DumpPreShareCmd, the snapshot could be created before backup and then deleted in DumpPostShareCmd. At a minimum, I would like to be able to even kludge a redirection that I could for example set in DumpPreShareCmd to redirect the rsync source.
