ZnapZend and zrepl are actually very similar in function: they both do replication of ZFS filesystems. I wondered at first that these two backup systems had no facilites for restores, like you get with a traditional backup system. However, I soon realized that if you had a replica, you could just copy a file to restore it. Alternatively, you could recreate an entire filesystem from a replica. The system I used formerly, zetaback, only stored "zfs send" streams on the backup device. That's something that's failure-prone, according to all the ZFS documents I've read. The only disadvantage of zrepl that I've encountered so far is that it does not have an OI package. -- -Gary Mills- -refurb- -Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada- _______________________________________________ openindiana-discuss mailing list openindiana-discuss@openindiana.org https://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
