The cli is modled after the zfs commandline. After modifying the configuration, send a HUP signal to your znapzend dae- mon for it to re-read the configuration. Common options include: --features=feature1,feature2,... enables a few enhanced zfs module features to be on par with those used by the znapzend command (but far fewer are relevant for the znapzendzetup) Available features: lowmemRecurse use 'lowmemRecurse' on systems where you have too many datasets, so a recursive listing of attributes to find backup plans exhausts the memory available to `znapzend(zetup)`: instead, go the slower way to first list all impacted dataset names, and then query their con- figs one by one. zfsGetType use 'zfsGetType' if your 'zfs get' supports a '-t' argument for filtering by dataset type at all (e.g. one in Solaris 10 does not), AND lists properties for snapshots by default when recursing (e.g. the one in Solaris 10u8 already does), so that there is too much data to process while searching for backup plans. If these two conditions apply to your system, the time needed for a '--recursive' listing of backup plans can literally differ by hun- dreds of times (depending on the amount of snapshots in that dataset tree... and a decent backup plan will ensure you have a lot of those), so you would benefit from requesting this feature. This feature should not impact the default (non- '--recursive') listings however. Below a few notes on main commands. create The heart of the znapzend backup is the plan. The plan specifies how often to backup and for how long to keep the backups. A plan is required both for the source and the destination datasets. The plan consists of a series of retention periods to interval associa- tions: retA=>intA,retB=>intB,... Both intervals and retention periods are expressed in standard units of time or multiples of them. You can use both the full name or a shortcut ac- cording to the following table: second|sec|s minute|min hour|h day|d week|w month|mon|m year|y To keep one copy every 30 minutes for one week, specify: 1week=>30min To keep one copy every two days for 10 years: 10year=>2day In a minimal setup, you just specify a plan for the SRC fileset. This will cause snapshots to be taken and destroyed according to the plan. You can then add one or several destinations (DST) both local (preferably on a dif- ferent pool) or remote. When adding multiple DST entries, each will get labeled for later identifi- cation, optionally you can specify your own label. --tsformat=limited-strftime-format The --tsformat option specifies how the names of the snapshots are con- structed. The syntax is strftime-like. The string must consist of the mandatory %Y %m %d %H %M %S %z Optionally, - _ . : characters as well as any alphanumeric character are allowed. If not specified, --tsformat defaults to "%Y-%m-%d-%H%M%S". If --tsformat string is suffixed by a 'Z', times will be in UTC. E.g.: --tsformat='%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ' NOTE: that windoz will probably not like the ":" characters. So if you intend to browse the snapshots with windoz, you may want to use a dif- ferent separator. --mbuffer=/usr/bin/mbuffer DEPRECATED: Specify the path to your copy of the mbuffer utility. NOTE: with this option, the same path would be used for all remote des- tinations - this can misfire if they run different operating systems. It is currently recommended to define individual dst_mbuffer_path op- tions for each separate destination in each dataset configuration. The --mbuffer value would be used as a fallback default for those. Per legacy-default behavior, the mbuffer program was not used by the sender (unless using a dedicated port, see below). Nowadays it is pos- sible to specify it instead of (or in addition to) a destination side mbuffer, using the src_mbuffer_path in each source dataset configura- tion. --mbuffer=/usr/bin/mbuffer:31337 DEPRECATED: Specify the path to your copy of the mbuffer utility and the port used on the destination. Caution: znapzend will use SSH to set up the remote mbuffer receiver, but will send the snapshot data stream directly from source mbuffer to destination mbuffer. In other words, the data stream is not encrypted. Use this only in a trusted LAN or over VPN, where you can safely avoid the overheads of an SSH tunnel. NOTE: with this option, the same path would be used for all remote des- tinations as well as the source system - this can misfire if they run different operating systems. It is currently recommended to define individual *_mbuffer_path options for each source and each separate destination in each dataset configu- ration. The --mbuffer value would be used as a fallback default for those (with only path component for the source). --mbuffersize=number{b|k|M|G} The size of the mbuffer can be set with the --mbuffersize option. It supports the following units: b, k, M, G To specify a mbuffer size of 100MB: --mbuffersize=100M If not set, the buffer size defaults to 1GB. It is currently suggested to define individual mbuffer_size options for each source and each separate destination in each dataset configura- tion. The --mbuffer-size value would be used as a fallback default for those. --donotask Apply changes immediately. Without being asked if the config is as you intended it to be. --pre-snap-command=/path/bin args, --post-snap-command=/path/bin args Run commands/scripts before and after snapshots are taken on source. e.g. for database locking/flushing (pre) and unlocking (post). If you deal with a mariadb/mysql database, you can use pre-snap-command = /opt/oep/mariadb/bin/mysql -e "set autocommit=0;flush tables with read lock;\\! /bin/sleep 600" & /usr/bin/echo $! > /tmp/mariadblock.pid ; sleep 10 post-snap-command = /usr/bin/kill `/usr/bin/cat /tmp/mariadblock.pid`;/usr/bin/rm /tmp/mariadblock.pid to make sure that the on-disk data is consistent when snapshotting. The lock stays in place only for the duration of the lingering connection to mysql we need to employ, or until the snapshotting attempt times out. For this to work, add the root password of your mariadb/mysql database setup into ~root/.my.cnf and make sure the file permissions are tight ... The pre and post snapshot commands can find the name and time of the snapshot in the environment variables ZNAP_NAME and ZNAP_TIME. --send-delay Specify delay (in seconds) before sending snaps to the destination. May be useful if you want to control sending time. pre-send-command=/path/bin args, post-send-command=/path/bin args Run command/script before and after sending the snapshot to the desti- nation. Intended to run a remote script via ssh on the destination, e.g. to bring up a backup disk or server. Or to put a zpool online/of- fline: "ssh root@bserv zpool import -Nf tank" "ssh root@bserv zpool export tank" delete to remove configuration from a dataset just give its name znapzendzetup delete I<dataset> the delete function understands the following options: --dst=key to only remove a destination, specify the key of the destination. Use the list function to see the keys. edit modify the configuration of a dataset. See the descriptions in the create function for details. If edit is used with a source dataset as single argument, properties can be edited in an editor. export dumps the backup configuration of a dataset znapzendzetup export I<dataset> import reads configuration data from a file or STDIN and prints it content --write actually store the new configuration into the dataset given on the com- mand line. --prop key="value" [ --prop ... ] may be called multiple times to override properties in the imported config.
