    Backup your ZFS snapshots to S3. (by presslabs)

  • To add, i'm not so confident in future usability given it's python 2[0].

  • zfs-to-aws

  • For anyone who might be interested in doing this with fewer dependencies/tooling I have written a bash script that pushes ZFS snapshots to S3:

    I have it running in a cronjob on my NAS nightly, and a retention policy on aws to push it straight into glacier.

    There's no restore script as this is my last line of backups, so I thought if I was restoring from here I'd want to do it manually. I might get around to writing one now however.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • zfs

    OpenZFS on Linux and FreeBSD

  • Native (per-dataset) encryption. This has been a possibility since ZoL 0.8.0 [0] released two years ago.

    This means that the stream created by zfs send is seamlessly encrypted. I waited until this feature was released/stable before I started uploading to AWS.
