rsync - Oct 2009 - rsync+zfs rotate script

here is my script to rsync a directory to a zfs filesystem, rotate 
existing snapshots, then create a "latest" snapshot.

work to be done

- check for an include/exclude list for the rsync command
- create a monthly snapshot

be careful of possible line wraps

#!/bin/sh


RSYNC_CMD="/usr/local/bin/rsync -axS --delete-delay --stats"

# first argument is the remote server to connect (ie. server1)
# second argument is the remote target (ie. /home/) note trailing slashes just
like in rsync
# third argument is which pool to use (ie. tank)
# fourth argument is what ZFS fileystem on that pool (ie server1/home)
# fifth argument is how many snapshots for this zfs filesystem
