[zfs-discuss] zfs send and receive - how are people driving them?
I guess many of you on this list are using zfs send and receive to move data from one machine to another, or between pools on the same machine, for redundancy or for other purposes, and perhaps over ssh or other channels. Is there any standard way of doing this that people use, or has everyone made up her/his own mechanism? There are a bunch of flags that you want to get right regarding snapshots, meta data, and other things, if you are doing incremental snapshot transfers you want to make sure you don''t remove any old snapshots before they are safely in the destination pool, and a probably a lot of other stuff, so a tested and tried out standard tool would be nice. Is there one? Thanks for any pointers! /ragge
