I suppose it's time to share my dream excel functionality: Turbo F2. F2 should enable the user to trace calculations back to the original data, not only the current calculation step. In basis spreadsheet, this would yield a jumble of s

I just set up zrepl yesterday and this was going to be my next task. Super glad to find this here. I already have a borg-enabled account with you: Is it possible for a single account to do both borg and zfs send?
