Interesting Snippets from 2020-08-27

• GitHub - psy0rz/zfs_autobackup: ZFS autobackup is used to periodicly backup ZFS filesystems to other locations. No additional tools of libraries or config files needed.

  This is a tool I wrote to make replicating ZFS datasets easy and reliable. You can either use it as a backup tool, replication tool or snapshot tool. You can select what to backup by setting a custom ZFS property. This allows you to set and forget: Configure it so it backups your entire pool, and you never have to worry about backupping again. Even new datasets you create later will be backupped.

• GitHub - someone1/zfsbackup-go: Backup ZFS snapshots to cloud storage such as Google, Amazon, Azure, etc. Built with the enterprise in mind.

  This backup software was designed for the secure, long-term storage of ZFS snapshots on remote storage. Backup jobs are resilient to network failures and can be stopped/resumed. It works by splitting the ZFS send stream (the format for which is committed and can be received on future versions of ZFS as per the man page) into chunks and then optionally compresses, encrypts, and signs each chunk before uploading it to your remote storage location(s) of choice. Backup chunks are validated using SHA256 and CRC32C checksums (along with the many integrity checks builtin to compression algorithms, SSL/TLS transportation protocols, and the ZFS stream format itself). The software is completely self-contained and has no external dependencies.
