Hello list, I have a selection of zfs datasets that I'm snapshotting to a remote freebsd server. Thing is, I want to use less bandwidth. Here is an example incantation, from the server: $ zfs send -R vms/132@2016-01-06.2122 | ssh backup@[remote_ip] \ zfs recv -Fdvu storage/snapshots How do/would I use xz -9 to compress the stream over the wire? The uncompressed snapshot is 57GB. 7zip (using lzma2 like xz) will compress it to 12GB. thanks -- John
