# ZFS Automatic Snapshot Daemon
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is a daemon, written in Python 3, that will schedule regular
|
|
|
|
|
snaphots of ZFS datasets (pools, filsystems) according to a set of
|
|
|
|
|
configurable schedules. Options for interval and crontab-style
|
|
|
|
|
schedules are available.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The daemon only includes an installer for macOS at the moment,
|
|
|
|
|
but a multi-platform installer is coming soon.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
As of now, snapshots are conditional. A snapshot will only be taken
|
|
|
|
|
if a dataset has been modified since the last snapshot. An option
|
|
|
|
|
to turn this off per schedule is coming soon.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The daemon should not interfere with other snapshots you have
|
|
|
|
|
on the system, unless you give them names that adhere to the
|
|
|
|
|
`dataset@tag:serial` syntax `zasd` uses, and the `tag` parts
|
|
|
|
|
happen to match of the tags in `zasd.conf.py`. If you're already
|
|
|
|
|
using similar syntax for something else, you may need to change
|
|
|
|
|
the `separator` setting in `zasd.conf.py`.

**DISCLAIMER:** This program is still in beta. Use at your own
|
|
|
|
|
risk. It works fine on my system, but your mileage may vary.
