The backups could be automatically accomplished with other storage that
provides a versioned backup... MacOS's Time Machine would do the trick, for
example.  ZFS doesn't work particularly well on Linux (it's a Solaris and
BSD thing), but I imagine there's some other option for obtaining snapshots
there, and likewise I assume Windows would have a similar feature.
