Currently I use ext4 for most of my servers and computers. But having snapshotting would also be nice. Does kopia transparently use xfs snapshots? Is there a way I can use xfsdump with kopia easily?

Thanks!

Kopia does not support any snapshot-ting “natively” but provides you with mechanism to add its support easy. Have a look at:

> **[Actions](https://kopia.io/docs/advanced/actions/)**
>
> Fast and Secure Open-Source Backup Software for Windows, Mac, and Linux

As long as you know how to take snapshot and read from it everything else is easy.
