About zrepl

zrepl is a backup and replication tool for ZFS. It runs as a daemon that takes snapshots of datasets on a schedule, prunes old ones according to rules you set, and replicates them to another pool or another machine.

Configuration lives in a file, and the project publishes user documentation and Debian packaging. It is written in Go and suits people running ZFS on servers or NAS machines who want automated, incremental off-site copies.

Strengths

  • Automated ZFS snapshots, pruning and replication in one tool
  • Replicates between local pools or remote hosts
  • Config-file driven with published documentation

Limitations

  • Only works with ZFS
  • No graphical interface
