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.
