zelta(8) System Manager's Manual zelta(8) NAME zelta - Perform remote and recursive ZFS operations SYNOPSIS zelta SUBCOMMAND DESCRIPTION zelta simplifies zfs tasks involving a datasets and their children ("dataset trees") on local or remote systems. Most zelta subcommands accept a source and target dataset or remote dataset endpoint accessi- ble via ssh(1). See the zfs(8) manual for more information about dataset names. A source dataset may be pool name (a single element). Remote dataset endpoints are defined similar to the scp(1) command in the form [user@]host:[dataset]. A local dataset: apool apool/filesystem apool/filesystem@snapshot apool/filesystem/volume apool/filesystem/volume#bookmark A remote dataset endpoint: twin@example.com:apool twin@example.com:apool/volume@snapshot example.com:bpool/filesystem SUBCOMMANDS Zelta's parameters attempt to follow ZFS conventions whenever possible. zelta help zelta -? Displays a help message. zelta -V, -version zelta version Displays the Zelta suite version Comparison See zelta-match(8) for more details. zelta match Describe the difference between dataset trees. Replication & Cloning Note that zelta is designed to be a safe and efficient backup tool that overides ZFS's destructive and obtrsive operations by default. For de- tail see zelta-backup(8) or the Zelta Wiki <https://zelta.space/home>. zelta backup Replicate a dataset tree. By default run extra commands to de- tect optimal zfs send options, snapshot if necessary, and repli- cate as many intermediate datasets as possible. zelta sync Replicate a dataset tree. By default, assume an up-to-date ver- sions of ZFS and replicate only the most recent snapshot. zelta clone Clone and mount a dataset tree. Policy-based Replication zelta policy Use zelta.conf to replicate dataset trees using a configuration file. Other Zelta Functions The following are additional Zelta utilities that are used internally and/or haven't been designed for public use. zelta enpoint Validate and split an endpoint definiton. zelta report An example API reporter. zelta sendopts Determine compatible zfs send options between two hosts. zelta snapshot Create a recursive snapshot. zelta time If time(1) is unavailable, Zelta will use bash's POSIX time function to time for precision reporting.
