Access to snapshots from jail

[GianlucaV]

Hi all,

I'm starting to experiment with FreeNAS, so new to it (but not new to UNIX environments).

I'm trying to periodically back up the data by pushing incremental ZFS snapshots to S3. I'm using python, boto and PyCrypto. These libraries are not available in the base FreeNAS installation, but I can easily install them in a jail. However, I haven't found a way to access snapshots from the jail (in practice piping zfs send into an encryptor and then uploading to cloud)?

Is there any way to do that? Thanks

One word: SSH.

You can find more information about it from the "man zfs" command.
