|
|
xPERIODICx_zfsnap_flags - zfSnap generic flags
|
|
(except -v and -d)
|
|
xPERIODICx_zfsnap_enable_prefix - Create snapshots with prefix
|
|
(Default = YES)
|
|
xPERIODICx_zfsnap_prefix - Set prefix to use for new snapshots
|
|
(Default = "xPERIODICx-")
|
|
(where xPERIODICx is any of hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, reboot)
|
|
|
|
xPERIODICx_zfsnap_delete_enable - Delete old snapshots periodically
|
|
(values: YES | NO)
|
|
xPERIODICx_zfsnap_delete_flags - zfSnap generic flags
|
|
(except -v and -d)
|
|
xPERIODICx_zfsnap_delete_verbose - Verbose output (values: YES | NO)
|
|
xPERIODICx_zfsnap_delete_prefixes - Space separated list of prefixes
|
|
of old zfSnap snapshots to delete
|
|
'hourly-', 'daily-', 'weekly-',
|
|
'monthly-' and 'reboot-' prefixes
|
|
are hard-coded
|
|
(where xPERIODICx is any of daily, weekly, monthly)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Add these lines to your /etc/crontab
|
|
4 * * * * root periodic hourly
|
|
@reboot root periodic reboot
|
|
|
|
NOTE: it is not recommended to delete zfSnap snapshots every hour.
|
|
Deleting zfs snapshots takes more time than creating them.
|
|
There for it's better to delete snapshots once per day...
|
|
|
|
|
|
Periodic scripts provide very limited feature set. If you want to use
|
|
more advanced setup, you need to call zfSnap from crontab directly.
|
|
This way you can combine all sort of parameter combinations.
