I am trying to understand how ZFS replication works on FreeNAS 9.2.1.9 (possibly it is the same as 9.3). My conclusion from reading the user manual is that FreeNAS uses vanilla zfs send command possibly with few switches and schedules it as a cron job. Apparently it does that in semi-incremental backup. I am the most curios how taking snapshot triggers replication and how old replications gets deleted. However login into the shell and lunching

reveals that root crontab
. Where should I look for the info (crontab file)? on the live installation. Can anybody help me located relevant code in the sourcehttps://github.com/freenas/freenas
