That'd be cool. I'm converting from rsync to send/receive because I upgraded to 2008.11 and started using CIFS, so I care about more things than I used to, and rsync doesn't handle them all. And I'm having trouble getting send/receive to do what I need so far. I'll look forward to seeing what you do! > Are you keeping in mind the fact that the '-i' option needs a pair of > snapshots (original and current) to work properly? Yes, on the incremental sends I believe I've got that part right. I can get the original send on a different fs, and incremental sends, to work; it was when I added this second fs that I also wanted to back up that I ran into problems. Dunno why yet. The tests below are of the initial send, which will happen only once per backup volume, but are still necessary. I'm going to fall back to doing manual scripts to do initial and incremental backups for the fs's I care about, in hopes I can get that working, and because it gives me a precise reproducible problem when I have trouble. -- David Dyer-Bennet, d...@dd-b.net; http://dd-b.net/ Snapshots: http://dd-b.net/dd-b/SnapshotAlbum/data/ Photos: http://dd-b.net/photography/gallery/ Dragaera: http://dragaera.info _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
