I wonder if it’s possible to back up ZFS (eg, a ZFS server) to btrfs (eg, a synology nas)?
I mean backing up the file system (as with ZFS send) not scanning all files (using rsync of restic).
- dsr_ 4y agoThe target of a zfs send can be a plain file on another filesystem- btrfs, ext4, xfs, exfat, whatever.
- aborsy 4y agoYes, but it’s usually not recommended, because the receiver side doesn’t verify that the data is identical to that at the sender side, and a small error could corrupt the file system. ZFS send and receive is a good way to do it, but there is no ZFS send and btrfs receive!
