- Description:
- zfSnap is a simple sh script for creating ZFS snapshots. When called from
cron rolling snapshots can be created and deleted automatically. The main
advantage of zfSnap is that it is written in 100% pure /bin/sh, does not
require any additional software to run, and is simple to use.
zfSnap keeps all information about snapshot in snapshot name. zfs snapshot
names are in form: Timestamp--TTL where timestamp is date and time of
snapshot creation and TTL is Time To Live in human readable form.

Add these lines to your /etc/crontab
4 * * * * root periodic hourly
@reboot root periodic reboot
NOTE: it is not recommended to delete zfSnap snapshots every hour.
Deleting zfs snapshots takes more time than creating them.
There for it's better to delete snapshots once per day...
Periodic scripts provide very limited feature set. If you want to use
more advanced setup, you need to call zfSnap from crontab directly.
This way you can combine all sort of parameter combinations.
