cool, and has to be pretty fast, but it needs attention. we use proxmox pbs, and just ordinary backups, which are so fast we never even check snapshots

- sandreas 3y agoThe problem with all the proxmox cron / backup stuff is, that these solutions do not consider snapshots are fast, reliable, sendable and do not take up much disk space, as long as the fs has not changed too much. So zfs-auto-snapshot is performing a snapshot every 5 minutes for an hour, every hour for a day, etc. And it auto-removes these snapshots after one "round" of snapshotting, so it should not take too much space in the long term. This is absolutely amazing, because data loss is pretty unlikely to happen and you can always free up space by removing snapshots manually. I still have backups on an external disk though :-)
- oriettaxx 3y agoI've got the point, thank you so much. I'll dig on snapshots which I always ignored
