# backup-zfs
|
|
zfs snapshot send/receive supporting pull
|
|
|
|
## Basic Usage
|
|
backup-zfs remote_host:src_pool/fs dest_pool
|
|
|
|
This will create a new snapshot on the remote host (via SSH) and "send" it to
|
|
your local host where it will be received into dest_pool/fs.
|
|
|
|
I use this on my laptop to backup my home server to a removable drive. This
|
|
*pull* functionality was something I had trouble finding in the other similar
|
|
scripts out there, and was the main reason I wrote this.
|
|
|
|
## Features
|
|
* pull from a remote source to a local (or remote) destination
|
|
* (source and destination can each be either local or remote)
|
|
* keeps its own set of snapshots
|
|
* SSH connection is made with regular user, and uses sudo for ZFS commands
|
|
* sends incremental snapshots after first run
|
|
|
|
## Limitations
|
|
* always uses sudo
|
|
* always creates recursive snapshots (`zfs snapshot -r`)
|
|
* always sends full replication stream (`zfs send -R`)
|
|
* destination should be specified as the *parent* of the desired destination
|
|
(`zfs recv -e`)
|
|
|
|
## Install/Requirements
|
|
* There is no need to install, just clone/download where you like and run
|
|
* Created & tested with [ZFS On Linux][1] on Ubuntu 16.04
|
|
* Requires bash(1), date(1), sudo(8), and zfs(8)
|
|
* Requires ssh(1) for remote hosts
|
|
* If your SSH environment requires a custom port or other configuration
|
|
options, that will need to be done in your ssh_config(5) file
|
|
|
|
## Usage/Examples
|
|
backup-zfs [-hvq] [-t tag] [-k keep] [-d dateopts] src dest
|
|
use zfs send/recv to push/pull snapshots
|
|
|
|
src the source fs, specified as [host:]pool/path/to/fs
|
|
dest the destination fs parent, specified as [host:]pool/path/to/fs
|
|
(the final path component of src will be appended to dest)
|
|
-p Alternate SSH Port, default 22
|
|
-h help
|
|
-v verbose mode
|
|
-q quiet mode
|
|
-t tag tag to use for naming snapshots (default: backup-zfs)
|
|
-k keep number of snapshots to keep on src (default: 5)
|
|
-d dateopts options for date(1) - used to name the snapshots (default: +%F_%T)

|
# Local mode: Backup tank/system to backup/tank/system
|
|
backup-zfs tank/system backup/tank
|
|
|
|
# Pull mode: Backup tank/system on tankhost to localhost
|
|
backup-zfs tankhost:tank/system backup/tank
|
|
|
|
# Push mode: Backup tank/system on localhost to backuphost
|
|
backup-zfs tank/system backuphost:backup/tank
|
|
|
|
# Double remote mode: Backup tank/system on tankhost to backuphost
|
|
backup-zfs tankhost:tank/system backuphost:backup/tank
|
|
|
|
# In this mode, your client will establish two separate SSH sessions,
|
|
# connect them with a pipe, and pull data from one while pushing to the
|
|
# other. No data will be stored locally.
