Hello Proxmox Community!

I'm digging into Proxmox internals (literally Perl scripts) a bit, but I can't

find answer for my question: what's is the differences in internal implementation
between pve-zsync and full storage replication task.
As far as I can see both mentioned methods use ZFS snapshots under the hood.

So, one question is in subject and the second is where I mistaken ontopic.

Hi,

pve-zsync is written to operate on Linux ZFS hosts and has no dependency on Proxmox VE.

But, how does full ZFS pool replication has been implemented in Proxmox VE ?

What do you mean? pvesr only replicate single VM's. Also, pve-zsync replicates only single datasets.
 
@wolfgang Thanks I see where was my misunderstanding of the process.
Is there only one script pvesr that replicate VM from one node to another?
As for pve-zsync I've already seen how it works.

No, it completely integrated into the Proxmox VE framework.

Ok, I've another question in that case: is implementation itself binary file or script written in Perl/Python etc ?
Or it's couple of files which are integrated part of Proxmox VE?
 
We use Perl in Proxmox VE management framework, so it is a script and not a binary file.
