well boo i just found out that #znapzend isn't working as configured and i've accumulated over 5000 snapshots.
only about 22GB of delta in there, too, i haven't worked on photography for a while, okay!?
but i passed a variable i thought was "month" but was actually "minutes" so now i have two zfs pools with amnesia 🤪 it's totally fine, that isn't my backup strategy or anything dumb like that. i just can’t believe i didn't double check flags to `zfs-prune-snapshots` 🤦
oops i forgot that because i use #zfs i have to do a deferred launch of #Arq because i have to unlock half a dozen filesystems via ssh before i login to windowserver and apparently i haven't done that in quite a while :grimace:
the good news is that the only things likely to have changed since july are things on zpools and those are redundant and backed up via #znapzend!
#zfs mafia recognize :joy:
i'm having a hard time setting up #mbuffer on #macOS. i am a user of #openzfs on my macs and #zfs has some really great replication/snapshot mojo you can leverage with tools like #znapzend which can automatically do incremental delta send/rec ops to other systems or volumes and i wanna speed it up!
but i'm using mbuffer wrong apparently i just don't know what i'm doing wrong but if you have set it up before would you mind taking a peek at https://github.com/oetiker/znapzend/issues/612 plz ty
@nixCraft Yes, #ZFS is so stable and reliable. I use #znapzend to automatically send snapshots to my backup servers. https://www.znapzend.org/
@papertigers
I am curious if there is a specific reason why you want to use #zrepl?
(I am happily using #znapzend for a few years now)
@qwxlea i lol'ed because that workstation often hits a load avg north of 200 but the last few days i haven't been making it work hard cuz the UPS it's attached to has been failing and requiring a hard reset so i'm optimizing my backups and updating packages. learned #znapzend too!
the graph and details at the top are the built-in status monitors in #iTerm2 (version`Build 3.5.0beta10`) that you can toggle/change in Settings > Appearance. i'm using a (default built-in?) theme called `minimal`.
