zfs send <-> recv iniciated by the receiver

[andy77]

Hello@all, I would like to do a

root@sendserver:~# zfs send rpool/data/vm-100-disk-0 | ssh recvserver zfs recv rpool/data/vm-100-disk-0

But i need to run that from the receiver site, so I tried

root@recserver:~# zfs recv rpool/data/vm-100-disk-0 | ssh sendserver zfs send rpool/data/vm-100-disk-0

But this seems to not work. Any Idea if this is possible at all?

Thx for any advice

Hi,

ssh <user>@<hostip> -o 'BatchMode=yes' -- zfs send rpool/data/vm-100-disk-0 | ssh recvserver zfs recv rpool/data/vm-100-disk-0

Hi Wolfgang, thx for the answer. I think this will not work, because I forgot to mention something.

I need to run the transfer from the recvserver because it is not reachable directly from the sendserver.

sendserver = pubilcIP
recvserver = only internal ip with access to internet via router

Wolfgang you are totaly right. This seems to really work. THX very much for that!!

Used like that and works like a charm:

ssh <user>@<hostip> -o 'BatchMode=yes' -- zfs send rpool/data/vm-100-disk-0 | pv | ssh recvserver zfs recv rpool/data/vm-100-disk-0

use verbose '-v' of receive
