Quick Start

This example shows how to back up a ZFS volume to S3.

Note

This example assumes you have a ZFS pool named zfs-pool and a volume named volume1.

1. Create a .bbackup.yaml in your home directory.

stages:
  s3:
    type: s3
    bucket: <bucket>
    region: <region>
    accessKey: <accessKey>
    accessSecret: <accessSecret>
  zfs:
    type: zfs
    remote: s3

2. Add a volume to a backup group.

zfs-backup-blob group add-volume --volume zfs-pool/volume1

3. Create full snapshot of volumes belonging to the backup group.

zfs-backup-blob group snapshot --type full

4. Sync snapshots to remote storage (s3 in this case).

zfs-backup-blob group sync

5. Verify snapshots are backed up in remote blob storage.

zfs-backup-blob backup list --volume zfs-pool/volume1
