Anyone have any go-to choice for #FreeBSD scripts to handle zfs-send of snapshots for backup purposes? I have a couple of hosts using zfs and already have snapshots set up, but I would like to have the most recent snapshot sent to another host (and older snapshots to be pruned from that remote host).

Doesn't need to be anything super-fancy beyond that, bonus points for just integrating with periodic(8)

@jamesoff someone has probably already said this, but @jimsalter 's Syncoid is brilliant

@paul @jamesoff syncoid gets as close as it can to recreating the look and feel of rsync, but using ZFS replication as the underlying engine.

It's part of the sanoid project. pkg add sanoid on FreeBSD. Feel free to come to https://discourse.practicalzfs.com/ if you want to get turbo nerdy and/or ask questions about that or anything else ZFS! 🍻🤠👍
