In Ubuntu zsnapd-trigger is provided by zsnapd package.
zsnapd is:
Python daemon that manages ZFS snapshots and send/receive backup. Based on zfs-snap-manager.
- Remote ZFS snapshoting/aging wnd replication back to central ZFS backup server. Only need to install zfs-utils, zsnapd-rcmd (for secure) remote ssh key login and sshd on client, and use root ssh key based log in.
- Has connectivity test to skip scheduled actions when the remote site cannot be contacted. Actually quite useful for ZFS backing up laptops. Reachability failures are logged of course!
- Uses Python3
- Native systemd support.
- Configuration is stored in configuration files with the ini file format. Configuration .d parts directories also present
- Triggers the configured actions based on time or a ‘.trigger’ file present in the dataset’s mountpoint.
- Can take snapshots (with a yyyymmddhhmm timestamp format).
- Can replicate snapshots to/from other nodes.
- Push based when the replication source has access to the replication target.
- Pull based when the replication source has no access to the replication target. Typically when you don’t want to give all nodes access to the backup/replication target.
- Cleans all snapshots with the yyyymmddhh timestamp schmea format based on a GFS schema (Grandfather, Father, Son). Timestamp evaluation based on actual ZFS snapshot creation metadata.
- Supports pre and post commands.
