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
