About:
Zrepl is a one-stop ZFS backup and replication solution that provides continuous protection for filesystems. It offers features like snapshot management, incremental backups, and automatic replication across different hosts. The tool simplifies disaster recovery by handling the entire backup lifecycle from snapshot creation to offsite storage.

Key Features:

Continuous ZFS snapshotting and replication
Built-in encryption for secure backups
Pull and push replication modes
Automatic snapshot cleanup and pruning
Local filesystem protection

Use Cases:

Disaster recovery for ZFS-based systems
Offsite backup replication between servers
Automated snapshot management for data protection
Cross-datacenter ZFS dataset synchronization

Alternatives:

zfs-auto-snapshot – Simpler cron-based snapshots without built-in replication
syncoid – Manual ZFS send/receive helper, lacks continuous replication daemon
