This is a tool written to make replicating ZFS datasets easy and reliable.
|
|
|
|
You can either use it as a backup tool, replication tool or snapshot tool.
|
|
You can select what to backup by setting a custom ZFS property. This allows you
|
|
to set and forget: Configure it so it backups your entire pool, and you never
|
|
have to worry about backupping again. Even new datasets you create later will be
|
|
backupped. Other settings are just specified on the commandline. This also makes
|
|
it easier to setup and test zfs-autobackup and helps you fix all the issues you
|
|
might encounter. When you're done you can just copy/paste your command to a cron
|
|
or script.
|
|
Since its using ZFS commands, you can see what its actually doing by specifying
|
|
--debug. This also helps a lot if you run into some strange problem or error.
|
|
You can just copy-paste the command that fails and play around with it on the
|
|
commandline. (also something I missed in other tools)
|
|
An important feature thats missing from other tools is a reliable --test option:
|
|
This allows you to see what zfs-autobackup will do and tune your parameters. It
|
|
will do everything, except make changes to your zfs datasets. Another nice
|
|
thing is progress reporting: Its very useful with HUGE datasets,
|
|
when you want to know how many hours/days it will take. zfs-autobackup tries to
|
|
be the easiest to use backup tool for zfs.
