+Maintain and replicate ZFS snapshots
+
+zap automates the management of zfs snapshots. With a few, simple
+crontab entries, it can be used to create a comprehensive zfs backup
+system. There are no configuration files. All parameters are supplied
+on the command line or in zfs properties and all snapshot information
+is stored in snapshot names.
+
+zap plays nice with manually created snapshots or snapshots from other
+tools. It will only operate on snapshots it creates.
