zfs-auto-snapshot

ZFS automatic snapshot service for Linux.

Automatically create, rotate, and destroy periodic ZFS snapshots.

The project this was forked from, by way of the zfsonlinux version, has been officially dead since 2019, and the Debian package has been unmaintained since 2017. Both still work. This version carries the unique features of each, modernised and kept working against current ZFS releases.

The focus is ZFS on Linux, and secondarily BSD - the kernel module rather than Darwin or the legacy FUSE version, although it continues to work fine with those.

Highlights

  • A better snapshot naming convention.
  • The minor deltas of the zfsonlinux version added back in over the Debian package.
  • Rewritten for Bash rather than /bin/sh, and cleaned up for readability and maintainability.
  • Kept working against current ZFS releases, where both upstream versions are unmaintained.
