It allows the easy and reliable backup, +restore or transfer of ZFS filesystems, either locally or remotely. + +Some of the features zxfer has: + * Written in sh with only one dependency, rsync. Rsync mode is not used + in a typical restore, hence in that situation all you need is the + zxfer script, your backup and an install CD/DVD. + * Reliability is first priority - the only methods of transfer allowed + are those that checksum/hash the transferred data. + * Transfer to or from a remote host via ssh. + * Recursive and incremental transfer of filesystems (via snapshots). + * Transfer properties and sources of those properties (e.g. local or + inherited). + * Override properties in the transfer, e.g. for archival purposes + it is useful to override "copies" and "compression". + * Create all filesystems on the destination as necessary. + * A comprehensive man page with examples. + * Can be set to beep on error or when done, useful for long transfers. + * Features an rsync mode for when two different snapshotting regimes are on + source and destination, and zfs send/receive won't work. + +LICENSE: BSD |
