ZFS - Snapshots - Send and Receive a Snapshot
ZFS snapshots of a filesystem can be:
- Sent to a file or to another machine.
- Received from another machine.
NOTE: This is great for backups or sending copies over the network (e.g. using ssh) to copy a file system.
Take a snapshot and save it to a file
sudo zfs snapshot -r testpool/projects@snap2 sudo zfs send testpool/projects@snap2 > ~/projects-snap.zfs
Receive a snapshot
To receive back from the saved file:
sudo zfs receive -F testpool/projects-copy < ~/projects-snap.zfs
