@ -8,17 +8,21 @@ ZFS autobackup is used to periodicly backup ZFS filesystems to other locations.
It has the following features:
* Automaticly selects filesystems to backup by looking at a simple ZFS property.
* Creates consistent snapshots.
* Is able to "push" and "pull" the backups via SSH.
* Also supports local backups.
* Even supports pulling data from a source-host and pushing backup to target host by ssh.
* Can be scheduled via a simple cronjob orrun directly from commandline.
* Multiple backups modes:
* "push" local data to a backup-server via SSH.
* "pull" remote data from a server via SSH and backup it locally.
* Backup local data on the same server.
* Can be scheduled via a simple cronjob or run directly from commandline.
* Backups and snapshots can be named to prevent conflicts. (multiple backups from and to the same filesystems are no problem)
* Always creates new snapshots, even if the previous backup was aborted.
* Ability to 'finish' aborted backups to see what goes wrong.
* Checks everything and aborts on errors.
* Only on host needs the zfs_autobackup script. The other host just needs ssh and the zfs command.
* Written in python and uses zfs-commands, no 3rd party dependencys or libraries.
* Ability to 'finish' aborted backups to see what goes wrong.
* Easy to debug and has a test-mode. Actual unix commands are printed.
* Easy installation:
* Only one host needs the zfs_autobackup script. The other host just needs ssh and the zfs command.
* Written in python and uses zfs-commands, no 3rd party dependencys or libraries.
