Hi I have a deduped dataset (accessed via NFS) where every night I store a clone of some servers. The dedup feature works great since only few changes occur between each clone (one every day). After the clone, I send the dataset to a backup machine, which in turn has dedup activated on the receiving dataset. Whith a script I make a snapshot and do a differential "zfs send -i" between the last and the preceding snap. I was trying to elaborate about using "zfs send -i -D". The -D switch deduplicates data on the stream it is going to send right? This means that it will dedup the data between the last two snapshots that I'm going to send, and this is a full machine clone (little dedup possible). Once it arrives on the target deduped dataset, it is *really* deduped and space on disk is saved, but network traffic accounts for a full machine clone. Is there a way to send only deduped data from the last snapshots, since on the originating dataset it is already deduped? This will not change the accounting of space on destination disks, but greatly reduce the network traffic.
