Feature Description

gitea is lightful and effective,
May often run on some lightweight environments, which even lacking storeage RAID.

I don't want Data reliability based on storage RAID.
If we can setup a remote server for whole site mirror (incremental backup/sync),
it'll safer.

zfs and zrepl works really well for me.

You can mirror anything without downtime.

I known I can daily backup / restore,
but that operation seems not lightweight and efficient.
https://docs.gitea.io/en-us/backup-and-restore/

is it possble some kind of stream sync (like binlog in database)

zfs and zrepl backup is very lightweight and efficient. They does incremental sync.
