positional arguments:
backup-name Name of the backup (you should set the zfs property
"autobackup:backup-name" to true on filesystems you
want to backup
target-path Target ZFS filesystem (optional: if not specified,
zfs-autobackup will only operate as snapshot-tool on
source)
backup-name Name of the backup (you should set the zfs property "autobackup:backup-name" to true on filesystems you want to backup
target-path Target ZFS filesystem (optional: if not specified, zfs-autobackup will only operate as snapshot-tool on source)
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--ssh-config SSH_CONFIG
--ssh-config CONFIG-FILE
Custom ssh client config
--ssh-source SSH_SOURCE
Source host to get backup from. (user@hostname)
Default None.
--ssh-target SSH_TARGET
Target host to push backup to. (user@hostname) Default
None.
--keep-source KEEP_SOURCE
Thinning schedule for old source snapshots. Default:
10,1d1w,1w1m,1m1y
--keep-target KEEP_TARGET
Thinning schedule for old target snapshots. Default:
10,1d1w,1w1m,1m1y
--other-snapshots Send over other snapshots as well, not just the ones
created by this tool.
--no-snapshot Don't create new snapshots (useful for finishing
uncompleted backups, or cleanups)
--no-send Don't send snapshots (useful for cleanups, or if you
want a serperate send-cronjob)
--min-change MIN_CHANGE
Number of bytes written after which we consider a
dataset changed (default 1)
--allow-empty If nothing has changed, still create empty snapshots.
(same as --min-change=0)
--ignore-replicated Ignore datasets that seem to be replicated some other
way. (No changes since lastest snapshot. Useful for
proxmox HA replication)
--no-holds Don't lock snapshots on the source. (Useful to allow
proxmox HA replication to switches nodes)
--strip-path STRIP_PATH
Number of directories to strip from target path (use 1
when cloning zones between 2 SmartOS machines)
--ssh-source USER@HOST
Source host to get backup from.
--ssh-target USER@HOST
Target host to push backup to.
--keep-source SCHEDULE
Thinning schedule for old source snapshots. Default: 10,1d1w,1w1m,1m1y
--keep-target SCHEDULE
Thinning schedule for old target snapshots. Default: 10,1d1w,1w1m,1m1y
--other-snapshots Send over other snapshots as well, not just the ones created by this tool.
--no-snapshot Don't create new snapshots (useful for finishing uncompleted backups, or cleanups)
--no-send Don't send snapshots (useful for cleanups, or if you want a serperate send-cronjob)
--no-thinning Do not destroy any snapshots.
--no-holds Don't hold snapshots. (Faster. Allows you to destroy common snapshot.)
--min-change BYTES Number of bytes written after which we consider a dataset changed (default 1)
--allow-empty If nothing has changed, still create empty snapshots. (same as --min-change=0)
--ignore-replicated Ignore datasets that seem to be replicated some other way. (No changes since lastest snapshot. Useful for proxmox HA replication)
--strip-path N Number of directories to strip from target path (use 1 when cloning zones between 2 SmartOS machines)
--clear-refreservation
Filter "refreservation" property. (recommended, safes
space. same as --filter-properties refreservation)
--clear-mountpoint Set property canmount=noauto for new datasets.
(recommended, prevents mount conflicts. same as --set-
properties canmount=noauto)
--filter-properties FILTER_PROPERTIES
List of properties to "filter" when receiving
filesystems. (you can still restore them with zfs
inherit -S)
--set-properties SET_PROPERTIES
List of propererties to override when receiving
filesystems. (you can still restore them with zfs
inherit -S)
--rollback Rollback changes to the latest target snapshot before
starting. (normally you can prevent changes by setting
the readonly property on the target_path to on)
Filter "refreservation" property. (recommended, safes space. same as --filter-properties refreservation)
--clear-mountpoint Set property canmount=noauto for new datasets. (recommended, prevents mount conflicts. same as --set-properties canmount=noauto)
--filter-properties PROPERY,...
List of properties to "filter" when receiving filesystems. (you can still restore them with zfs inherit -S)
--set-properties PROPERTY=VALUE,...
List of propererties to override when receiving filesystems. (you can still restore them with zfs inherit -S)
--rollback Rollback changes to the latest target snapshot before starting. (normally you can prevent changes by setting the readonly property on the target_path to on)
--destroy-incompatible
Destroy incompatible snapshots on target. Use with
care! (implies --rollback)
Destroy incompatible snapshots on target. Use with care! (implies --rollback)
--destroy-missing SCHEDULE
Destroy datasets on target that are missing on the source. Specify the time since the last snapshot, e.g: --destroy-missing 30d
--ignore-transfer-errors
Ignore transfer errors (still checks if received
filesystem exists. useful for acltype errors)
--raw For encrypted datasets, send data exactly as it exists
on disk.
--test dont change anything, just show what would be done
(still does all read-only operations)

--verbose verbose output
--debug Show zfs commands that are executed, stops after an
exception.
--debug Show zfs commands that are executed, stops after an exception.
--debug-output Show zfs commands and their output/exit codes. (noisy)
--progress show zfs progress output (to stderr). Enabled by
default on ttys.
--progress show zfs progress output. Enabled automaticly on ttys. (use --no-progress to disable)
When a filesystem fails, zfs_backup will continue and report the number of
failures at that end. Also the exit code will indicate the number of failures.
