Well after issues with having some important files on my ZFS pool with out any backups or snapshots, i was wondering how i would go about setting up auto ZFS snapshots in FreeBSD?
What i would like to achieve is to enable a snapshot once a day and have 30 copies (1 month) then delete the oldest after one month to rotate the snapshots. Is this possible in FreeBSD? If so would someone be so kind as to share this with me and how i would achieve this.
I will be setting up another machine to mirror my current server for backups, however i am really interested in the snapshots that ZFS can provide for my file system.
If anyone has some setups that i could try to implement to automate this, then i would be really appreciative if you could share
thank you.
