ZFS filesystem online backup question
...automate this operation and add new option to zfs send
zfs send [-w sec ] [-i <snapshot>] <snapshot>
for example
zfs send -w 10 pool/fs at replicate
zfs send then would:
1. create replicate snapshot if it does not exist
2. send data
3. wait 10 seconds
4. rename snapshot to replicate_previous ( destroy previous if exists )
5. goto 1.
All snapshot operations are done in kernel - it works faster then.
I have implemented this mechanism and it works.
Do you think this change will be integrated to opensolaris ?
Is there chance this option will be available in Solaris update 4 ?
Maybe ther...
