Is it possible to use already existing snapshots?

[janm84]

Hello,

on one of my systems I use incus in combination with zfs to store container instances and data volumes.
In addition, incus itself regularly creates snapshots.

I am looking for a tool that uses these existing snapshots to back them up to an external drive or remotely.

Is it possible to conifigure zfs_autobackup in that way, that it does not create snapshots itself, but uses the existing snapshots from incus?

I'm looking forward to your feedback.

BR, Jan

yes, use --other-snapshots: https://github.com/psy0rz/zfs_autobackup/wiki/Manual#step-34-transferring-snapshots
