I'm currently running zsnapper, asmd and 2 custom smf services in the
global zone.
I hope to eventually get it down to 1 custom smf service (to deal with
my odd swap setup) + salt stack. The current develop branch is much more
SmartOS friendly!
It even has vmadm, imgadm, fmadm (limited), zpool and zfs execution
modules now. Also states for vmadm, imgadm and zfs. I am currently
working on scheduled snapshot support
(https://github.com/sjorge/salt/tree/state-zfs-snapshots) as an FYI.
As to get said snapshots of my boxes, I usually 'pull' them from my
backup server over ssh.

Did you install znapzend without enabling pkgin in the global zone?
If so could you send me your notes not the procedure? Or if anyone else
has successfully achieved this…I'm trying to get it running without
pkgin.

I have an identical SmartOS box and use znapzend running in the source
gz and replicate the whole zones pool to the target and incrementals
following. I've not tried it, but in the event of something
catastrophic I plan to change the mac addresses on the /usbkey/config
and hopefully bring up the target as the source. With znapzend, a
pre/post snapshot command can be specified to flush mysql data to disk
or other such task.
I've never tested this and have no critical data anyway, but if anyone
can give me the heads up if I'm doing this really wrong I would
appreciate it. But at least I have a good copy of my data and vms.

Hi All,
I'm considering my options for backing up my SmartOS zones pool.
My options seem to be -
Backup to Directly Attached Storage via ESATA or USB 3
Backup to a NAS on the network.
What are other back options?
What are the pros and cons of each?
Thanks
Rickie
