What is Syncoid and How It Can Be Useful If you use ZFS on Linux or BSD, you might have datasets and snapshots that need to be replicated between servers. Syncoid is a tool that simplifies ZFS replication and backup. Why Syncoid? Automates snapshot replication — copies snapshots between datasets or servers. Incremental transfers — only changes are sent over the network, saving bandwidth. Easy CLI usage — no need to write complex ZFS send/receive scripts. Supports remote hosts — replication over SSH is built-in. Example: Basic Syncoid Usage Assume you have a source dataset tank/data and want to replicate it to backup/data on a remote server: ...

What is VolumeSnapshot in Kubernetes and How to Use It VolumeSnapshot is a Kubernetes feature that enables users to create point-in-time snapshots of Persistent Volumes (PVs). This functionality is essential for backup, disaster recovery, and data cloning scenarios. Why Use VolumeSnapshots? VolumeSnapshots provide: Data Protection: Easily back up data stored in PVs. Disaster Recovery: Restore volumes to a known-good state. Cloning: Create new volumes from snapshots. How VolumeSnapshots Work Snapshots are supported for specific storage classes that integrate with a CSI (Container Storage Interface) driver. The basic resources involved include: ...
