ZFS Auto Snapshots and Scrubing
- Thread starter rmundel
- Start date
To support the configuration and execution of zpool scrub would be a nice feature. But for the auto-snapshot, this would encourage the usage as 'backup' method. And by far, snapshots are not a backup! Any damage to the storage, has the possibility to render the snapshots useless. This is best left as an advanced feature on the CLI.
Would you like to develop the scrubbing feature?
Indeed snapshots are not backups.
But they're very handy in various cases.
Yesterday one of our clients accidentally updated without where (lol) a ton of records and because of the snapshots nobody noticed.
Some months ago we rolled back another client who got pwned by some ransomware.
About the scrubbing, I just started digging into the Proxmox Developer Documentation and experimenting some stuff.
Maybe if nobody catch me up (hope some one does lol).
Anyways, thanks!

I adapted a set of scripts from my Xigmanas days.

Hi,
we use also auto snapshot for some customers + backup.
(some big database, like snapshot each 20min-1h, and a full backup each days).
here the script
http://odisoweb1.odiso.net/create_snapshot.sh
simply add a cron like
create_snapshot.sh -n myvmname -k <numberofsnapshottokeep>
