FreeBSD ZFS snapshots with zfstools

August 8, 2014 By Cao Leave a Comment

In this blog by Michael W Lucas, he shows us how to use ZFS snapshots with zfstools on FreeBSD.

In my recent survey of ZFS snapshot automation tools, I short-listed zfstools and zfsnap. I’ll try both, but first we’ll cover FreeBSD ZFS snapshots with zfstools. Zfstools includes a script for creating snapshots, another for removing old snapshots, and one for snapshotting MySQL databases. The configuration uses only ZFS attributes and command line arguments via cron.
