The filesystems category houses file systems and file system utilities. It is added mainly to turn the sysutils/fusefs-* pseudo-category into a proper one, but is also useful for the sundry of other file systems related ports found in the tree. Ports that seem like they belong there are moved to the new category. Two ports, sysutils/fusefs-funionfs and sysutils/fusefs-fusepak are not moved as they currently don't fetch and don't have TIMESTAMP set in their distinfo, but that is required to be able to push a rename of the port by the pre-receive hook.

This is a tool written 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. Other settings are just specified on the commandline. This also makes
|
|
it easier to setup and test zfs-autobackup and helps you fix all the issues you
|
|
might encounter. When you're done you can just copy/paste your command to a cron
|
|
or script.
|
|
Since its using ZFS commands, you can see what its actually doing by specifying
|
|
--debug. This also helps a lot if you run into some strange problem or error.
|
|
You can just copy-paste the command that fails and play around with it on the
|
|
commandline. (also something I missed in other tools)
|
|
An important feature thats missing from other tools is a reliable --test option:
|
|
This allows you to see what zfs-autobackup will do and tune your parameters. It
|
|
will do everything, except make changes to your zfs datasets. Another nice
|
|
thing is progress reporting: Its very useful with HUGE datasets,
|
|
when you want to know how many hours/days it will take. zfs-autobackup tries to
|
|
be the easiest to use backup tool for zfs.
