Thankyou! Am I right in thinking that rpool snapshots will include things like
swap? If so, is there some way to exclude them? Much like rsync has --exclude?
By default, the "zfs send -R" will send all the snapshots, including
swap and dump. But you can do the following after taking the snapshot:
# zfs destroy rpool/d...@yyyymmddhh
# zfs destroy rpool/s...@yyyymmddhh
and then do the "zfs send -R" . You'll get messages about the missing
snapshots, but they can be ignored.
In order to re-create a bootable pool from your backup, there are
additional steps required. A full description of a procedure similar to
what you are attempting can be found here:
