Ondřej, you're are welcome. “For the sake of science” I restarted the backups' server yesterday with a kernel boot parameter mem=1G. All the nightly rsync jobs and btrfs snapshot manipulations went as usual, and the server is running fine: https://math.dartmouth.edu/owncloud/index.php/s/fYO81CfmuV5yrpZ So 1G RAM might still do just fine for such basic tasks. -- Sarunas Burdulis Systems Administrator Department of Mathematics, Dartmouth College http://math.dartmouth.edu/~sarunas
