ZFS Replication as a backup
by nooobeee from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6GKA3)
I am redoing my backup architecture and am considering ZFS replication. I presume the snapshots are what provide the versioning capabilities in a setup like that and I suppose additional snapshots can be taken on the target machine to increase the number of versions.
However, this workflow for a backup seems a bit foreign to me. Maybe it just seems too "simple" or "easy" for me to think it'll work. Currently I use Borg as a backup solution and I'm pretty happy with it. Perhaps this is just the windows admin side of me saying that if I don't have to fight with it, then it ain't working.
I'm looking for thoughts on relying on ZFS replication and snapshots as a backup. Or should I stick with something like borg?
