Well I'm so impressed with zfs at the moment! I just got steps 5 and 6 (form my last post) to work, and it works well. Not only does it send the increment over to the backup drive, the latest increment/snapshot appears in the mounted filesystem. In nautilus I can browse an exact copy of my PC, from / to the deepest parts of my home folder. And it will backup my entire system in 1-2 minutes, AMAZING!!
Below are the steps, try it for yourself on a spare USB HDD: >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> # Create backup storage pool on drive c12t0d0 pfexec zpool create backup-pool c12t0d0 # Recursively snapshot the root pool (rpool) pfexec zfs snapshot -r rp...@first #
