I have a backup system using zfs send/receive (I know there are pros and cons to that, but it's suitable for what I need).
What I have now is a script which runs daily, do zfs send, compress and write it to a file, then transfer it with ftp to a remote host. It does full backup every 1st, and do incremental (with 1st as reference) after that. It works, but not quite resource-effective (for example, the full backup every month, and the big size of incremental backup on 30th). I'm thinking of changing it to a script which can automate replication of a zfs pool or filesystem via zfs send/receive to a remote host (via ssh or whatever). It should be smart enough to choose between full and incremental, and choose which snapshot to base the incremental stream from (in case a scheduled incremental is missed), preferably able to use snapshots created by zfs/auto-snapshot smf service. To prevent re-inventing the wheel, does such script exists already? I prever not to use AVS as I can't use on existing zfs pool.
