Auto snapshotting like Solaris Timeslider or OSX Time Machine

Post by Parkcomm »

Currently you can snapshot your ZFS filesystems every day using Disks|ZFS|Snapshots|Auto Snapshot which is fantastic tool.

However a more modern approach to snapshotting snapshots at various time horizons and then rapidly deletes. Defaults values could look like below.

Code: Select all

Service Name              Interval      Keep
AutoDSnapshot:Frequent    15 Minutes     4
AutoDSnapshot:Hourly       1 Hour       24
AutoDSnapshot:Daily        1 Day        31
AutoDSnapshot:Weekly       7 Days        4
AutoDSnapshot:Monthly      1 Month      12
