I disagree completely. And I really don't trust someone to write zfs replication scripts on their own that can properly handle differentials automatically or the new resumable-send feature which this guy's tool doesn't even mention because he probably doesn't even know it exists.
Listen, this is hard and it sucks that there isn't a tool that comes with zfs to do this for you. But there are scripts that have been in production for years that have never failed. Scripts that are currently pushing hundreds of GBs per hour across the internet and recovering gracefully from failures. Use them. They work. They're even authored by zfs experts.
- mbreese 11y agoYes, there are best-practices that should be used and advertised. But there is no way to have a generic tool that will work in some reasonable percentage of environments. Yes, it's hard, but it's better to teach people how to manage it instead of giving them an unmodifiable tool and just say "here - use this". Telling them "here - do it like this", is much better.
