    I make remote snapshot backups with Borg using this: https://github.com/Freaky/zfsnapr

    zfsnapr mounts recursive snapshots on a target directory so you can just point whatever backup tool you like at a normal directory tree.

    I still use send/recv for local backups - I think it's good to have a mix of strategies.

    This is why I made https://github.com/Freaky/zfsnapr

    Instead of working out how to teach my backup tools about snapshots, I just mount them in a subtree and use that as a chroot env.

  • Correct Backups Require Filesystem Snapshots
    3 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 16 May 2022
    I wrote https://github.com/Freaky/zfsnapr a few months ago so I could finally have point-in-time consistent Borg backups with ZFS snapshots, without having the mess of teaching Borg where every .zfs directory was.

    It recursively snapshots mounted pools, and recursively mounts snapshots of the mounted datasets into a target ready to point your backup tools at. I do so via a chroot so I didn't need to make any changes to my Borg setup - just to how I run it.

  • Snapshot stat changes on access

    This is the approach I take with zfssnapr - make a recursive snapshot of pools and then use mountpoint/canmount to recursively mount datasets on a location. Then I can just point borg at it without having to teach it where exactly each .zfs directory is.
