ZFS backup utility, using zfs-send and zfs-recv. This software is still under construction and is not production ready. You should use something like sanoid.

Motivation

Invoking zfs-send and zfs-recv directly is simple enough for many use cases that a shell script is typically enough.

But by the time backup retention and other basic backup features are added, shell scripting gets sloppy.

In general I find most of the existing solutions around this difficult to work on (sanoid is a 2000+ line Perl script), or overly complex and filled with features I don't need (zrepl in this case).

I use this personally to backup my personal workstation.

Usage

Work in Progress.
