OpenSolaris, ZFS Backups
Thursday 02 October 2008, 16:21 WST —
At work, we use ZFS for our file storage (it’s setup to scrub nightly, and takes snapshots every 15 minutes, very useful since I can’t get our radio technicians to use source control, it acts as a useful “undo” feature). However, backing the data up can be a bit problematic. At the moment we don’t have a tape drive, or something that I can get to automatically backup the data.
Anyway, to be on the safe side, I’m currently backing up the data, and I thought I’d use an external HD with ZFS. This gives me nice error checking, plus lets me use the following to backup the files:
zfs send storage/archives@hourly-2008-10-02-15-00-00 | ssh aldredmr@10.0.0.76 pfexec zfs recv backup/archives@2008-10-02-15-00-00As usual, check Sun’s documentation for the info.
