3. ZFS backup

ZFS backup

  • C

    I'm considering possibilities for offsite backups of a ZFS NAS. What I'd prefer is a service where someone offers access to their own ZFS store and sells space that could be used with a backup system such as syncoid:

    https://github.com/jimsalterjrs/sanoid

    This would require SSH access and the ability for the host to accept a ZFS send. Is this a use case that Sia currently supports or would potentially support in the future? At the moment it appears to be strictly file-oriented rather than filesystem-oriented.

    If you were going to use Sia, what you would want to do is have a 'siad' instance running in the background of your machine, and then send it your snapshots when you have them. If you want to do deduplication, you would need to do that before Sia receives the snapshots. Is that along the lines of what you are looking for?
