Automatic snapshot tool for Proxmox VE (by Corsinvest)
sanoid
These are policy-driven snapshot management and replication tools which use OpenZFS for underlying next-gen storage. (Btrfs support plans are shelved unless and until btrfs becomes reliable.) (by jimsalterjrs)

Automatic container snapshots? cv4pve or zfs for a small homelab?
From my research, I can see two options: - Proxmox specific cv4pve-autosnap - generic zfs-auto-snapshot, available in repos

Advice needed: preparing for the worst
Also, for being able to quickly revert mishaps with your vms, and lxc containers i use https://github.com/Corsinvest/cv4pve-autosnap to make hourly snapshots of all vms and lxc containers (taking snapshots suspends disk io from the vm's point of view. Some software, especially game servers, can't deal with this).

Some Proxmox Backup, Snapshot and Storage questions
Since Proxmox natively supports ZFS, you could that to make your snapshots. You can do automatic snapshots with zfs-auto-snapshot or for VMs with cv4pve-autosnap.

Sanoid for snapshots management?
If you want automatic snapshots that appear in the Proxmox GUI and can be rolled back from there, too, you could check out https://github.com/Corsinvest/cv4pve-autosnap. I recently set it up and it works nicely. It uses the Proxmox API to trigger snapshots. Corsinvest is the company behind this tool. They are part of the Proxmox partner program.

ZFS for Dummies
I’m on the other end of the spectrum. I like knowing the flags and settings I use to create the pools.
For snapshots and replication take a look at sanoid (https://github.com/jimsalterjrs/sanoid).

Automatic container snapshots? cv4pve or zfs for a small homelab?
I use a combo of PBS and ZFS with Sanoid. The ZFS snapshots are nice because you define it all in a config file with frequent, hourly, daily, weekly, monthly snaps retained however you want. Importantly I use that on the root pool as well as my data pools. With PBS I have a custom retention config and have it backing up VMs and LXCs every couple hours. The PBS dedupe functionality makes it possible to keep full backups going back ages with minimal storage consumption, just the changed blocks. PBS is running inside a VM yes, but it’s storage is on another pool.

No, it's written by the developer of Sanoid and Syncoid. The foremost open source ZFS snapshotting tool. He contributes on this sub all the time.

Some questions about the limitations of ZFS send.
Hi there! Not so much to answer your questions, but are you aware of Sanoid and syncoid? It does backup and remote Sync in the most seamless way. Perhaps this would solve some of your concerns...
