How Full-Disk Snapshots Solve It

- The only way to guarantee an agent restores to a working state is to back up its entire filesystem — not just the home directory, and not just config files. Here's how deduplicated snapshot tools like Borg solve the practical concerns: + The only way to guarantee an agent restores to a working state is to back up its entire filesystem — not just the home directory, and not just config files.

- Our 6.8 GB agent compresses and deduplicates down to roughly 1–2 GB for daily snapshots. Borg breaks the filesystem into chunks and only stores what changed — so a daily backup after the initial snapshot is often just 50–200 MB of deltas. + Our 6.8 GB agent compresses down to roughly 1–2 GB for daily snapshots.
