wbackup-zfs
==========
*wbackup-zfs is a simple backup command line tool that reliably replicates ZFS snapshots from a (local or remote) source ZFS dataset (aka ZFS filesystem) and its descendant datasets to a (local or remote) destination ZFS dataset to make the destination dataset a recursively synchronized copy of the source dataset, using zfs send/receive/rollback/ destroy and ssh tunnel as directed. For example, wbackup-zfs can be used to incrementally replicate all ZFS snapshots since the most recent common snapshot from source to destination, in order to help protect against data loss or ransomware.*

When run for the first time, wbackup-zfs replicates the dataset and all its snapshots from the source to the destination. On subsequent runs, wbackup-zfs transfers only the data that has changed since the previous run, i.e. it incrementally replicates to the destination all intermediate snapshots that have been created on the source since the last run. Source ZFS snapshots older than the most recent common snapshot found on the destination are auto-skipped.
