About:
httm is an interactive command-line tool that provides a Time Machine-like experience for ZFS and btrfs filesystems. It allows users to browse, search, and restore previous versions of files directly from the terminal without needing to mount snapshots manually. The tool offers a seamless workflow for navigating file history across snapshots and datasets.
Key Features:
  • Interactive file browser for snapshot history
  • ZFS and btrfs filesystem support
  • De-duplication of file versions across snapshots
  • Native integration with standard Unix tools
  • Preview and restore capabilities
Use Cases:
  • Recovering accidentally deleted or modified files
  • Comparing file versions across different snapshots
  • Browsing historical data without manual snapshot mounting
  • Auditing file changes over time
Alternatives:
  • zfs-auto-snapshot – Automates snapshot creation but lacks interactive browsing
  • btrfs-subvolume – Manages snapshots natively but requires manual navigation
