I've tried some more things. Isn't this the "same" operations as above, but with different (and more reasonable) results? But isn't this the same, with different results? # zfs list -r bup-ruin NAME USED AVAIL REFER MOUNTPOINT bup-ruin 79.5K 913G 18K /backups/bup-ruin # zfs create bup-ruin/fsfs # zfs send -R rpool/export/h...@bup-2009\ 0216-044512UTC | zfs recv -d bup-ruin/fsfs/rpool cannot receive: specified fs (bup-ruin/fsfs/rpool) does not exist r...@fsfs:/export/home/localddb/src/bup2# zfs create bup-ruin/fsfs/rpool r...@fsfs:/export/home/localddb/src/bup2# zfs send -R rpool/export/h...@bup-2009\ 0216-044512UTC | zfs recv -d bup-ruin/fsfs/rpool These second results are what I expected, after reading the error messages and the manual. But the first example is what I actually got, originally. (Different pools, slightly). Here's what I'm trying to do: I'm trying to store backups of multiple pools (which are on disks mounted in the desktop chassis) on external pools consisting of a single external USB drive. My concept is to do a send -R for the initial backup of each, and then to do send -i with suitable params for the later backups. This should keep the external filesystems in synch with the internal filesystems up to the snapshot most recently synced. But I can't find commands to make this work. (Note that I need to back up two pools, rpool and zp1, from the destkop on the the single external pool bup-ruin. I'm importing bup-ruin with altroot to avoid the mountoints of the backed-up filesystems on it conflicting with each other or with stuff already mounted on the desktop.) -- David Dyer-Bennet, d...@dd-b.net; http://dd-b.net/ Snapshots: http://dd-b.net/dd-b/SnapshotAlbum/data/ Photos: http://dd-b.net/photography/gallery/ Dragaera: http://dragaera.info _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
