Hi,
I want to backup some FreeNAS data sets to a non-ZFS Linux server on the same network. I have periodic snapshot tasks configured for these datasets and I would like to backup from the latest snapshot rather than from the live dataset which might be changing.
The latest snapshot is located in (.zfs/snapshot/auto-20161030.749-2m). The directory name constantly changes depending on the date and time the snapshot was taken. Obviously I need a fixed path for the backup program to access my data.
Is there a way/script to link the latest snapshot folder to a fixed path like (.zfs/snapshot/yesterday)?
Or is there a better way to do backups?
Thanks
