I administer a handful of servers - both for work and for my side business. Right now I am rsyncing /home each server back each night from the server to my own machine at home. I'd like to add in snapshots, so I want to sanity check here - I wouldn't be doing much more than: - creating a separate zfs filesystem for each server - creating a nightly snapshot after the rsync finishes Since I cannot change the filesystems on the remote machines now (and all run Linux anyway), this essentially gives me the ability to have daily snapshots of each machine at my fingertips should I need it - correct? Just wanted to sanity check here before investing some money and time into this solution... Also if anyone wants to reply to me off list with hardware that works well for FBSD 7 + ZFS I'd be grateful :) Thanks in advance.
