====== ZFS snapshots & backup ======
One of the great things of **ZFS** is the easy of use and speed of **snapshots**. With **snapshots**, one can create **backups** on the fly. We use the following simple snapshot schema, especially because most data are datasets, and don't change that often. If faster changing data is stored on the storage server, these schema's may need some modifications (like daily snapshots)'
<code>
daily -> remove expired snapshots
weekly backup  -> keep for 7 weeks
montly backup -> keep for 12 months
</code>
The tool used to do these snapshots is **zfSnap**
===== zfSnap =====
