Hi all, Inspired by this article: http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2015/12/rsync-net-zfs-replication-to-the-cloud-is-finally-here-and-its-fast/ I am wondering about changing my offsite back strategy, which currently is made up of a Raspberry Pi with an external 3TB drive sitting at my brother's house, with periodic manual rsyncs. I'd like to change that to doing zfs replications. I want to use some of my ARM based hardware as the target for the ZFS replication, owing to its low power usage. I have a few Cubiboxes floating around with around 2G of RAM, and a RPI2 or a Banana Pi with 1G. It'd have a UFS root on the SD card, and ZFS on the external drive. Any ideas?
