  Automatically snapshot and sync ZFS datasets when backup disk is attached.

Yes it's good practice to backup your data to external disks. Google the 3-2-1 rule. A zfs mirror or raid is not really a backup, it improves availability. To make your life easier you can use replication tasks, rsync, zfs-autobackup (and even trigger it with a script when plugging the external disk in with https://github.com/ghan1t/udev-trigger-zfs-autobackup)

  ZFS autobackup is used to periodicly backup ZFS filesystems to other locations. Easy to use and very reliable.

I recommend you to get familiar with https://github.com/psy0rz/zfs_autobackup/wiki first and then use the configuration you are happy with in my script.
