Define "backups." I'm using it and had no issues using rsync to back up
to an external drive on both a desktop machine and a laptop:
# nice -n 19 /bin/rsync -av -S --exclude-from=/etc/skipdirs.rsync /
/media/external-3TB-Drive
where "/etc/skipdirs.rsync" contains:
/proc/*
/sys/*
/dev/*
/media/**
/mnt/**
/var/log/journal/*
/run/media/**
/var/lib/docker/*
The only issues I've heard of are anecdotal regarding suspend and such
(it fixes a lot of problems that 4.17.4-200 through 4.17.6-200 had, but
not all of them) and it's unclear if it's a kernel issue or a particular
set of ancillary processes (VMs and the like) that's causing it. The
only thing that seems definitive is that it behaves "differenly" than
4.17.3-200 and earlier kernels, whatever "differently" means.
