The same author has made an update for the zfsmanager, too. Its a #ZFS only management tool, which handles pools, datasets and snapshots only. Nice!
Nice, someone has written an updated #ZFS management module for #Webmin for #FreeBSD which really looks helpful. Its not only offering #ZFS managment, there is also #Samba, #PF #NFS and various other types configuration like #ACL management included, too. Wow!
With this, #Webmin is nearly feature complete. I'm only missing #Bastille or #Bhyve modules.

@bob_zim @hyc @oxyhyxo also, this review might benefit from more reviewers:
What's the fuss about FreeBSD? Read about my first impressions here, after playing with it these past three months on my servers (and, since a few weeks, on my laptop):

My special thanks to the awesome and kind #BSDCafe Barista @stefano for writing the posts that introduced me to the BSDs, and for fostering such a positive and welcoming community!
@lakeswimmer I use #rsnapshot. Been using it for years and it works great. I'm also one of the project maintainers so am biased.
In a brand new installation where everything used #ZFS (and really, everything *should* use ZFS - if it's not properly supported in your OS the OS is faulty and you should use a different one) then these days I'd use zfs send/recv, wrapped in #sanoid / #syncoid - https://github.com/jimsalterjrs/sanoid
I wrote up my entire backup strategy for my servers across FreeBSD and Linux:
- ZFS snapshots with sanoid
- Off-site replication via syncoid to rsync.net (encrypted at rest)
- Proxmox Backup Server fronting Backblaze B2 for VMs
- A Podman trick for backing up RHEL hosts without native packages
- Dead man's switch monitoring
- Quarterly restore tests recorded with asciinema
Real configs included.

โ for people who use #ZFS zraid1 : how often should i scrub a 4x2TB pool of old shitty disks?| once a month (default) | |
| twice a month | |
| weekly |
