Let's say I'd like to make daily backups of my laptop to the server, and keep 7 daily backups for a week, one backup for every month for a year, and keep a yearly backup for 5 years. In zfs-autobackup syntax, it would be "1d1w,1m1y,1y5y" if I'm correct. But the backup server is also automatically snapshotted. So where do I put the retention policy? My gut says something like "1d1w" from the laptop and then "1d1w,1m1y,1y5y" on the backup server should do the trick, but I'm a little bit confused by the double snapshots.Any words of wisdom are appreciated #ZFS #ZFSAutobackup #backup #BackupStrategy]]></description><link>https://board.circlewithadot.net/topic/2b134d82-5a44-4843-bd8f-ed8717efad3c/i-ve-followed-@stefano-s-excellent-guide-https-it-notes.dragas.net-2024-08-21-automating-zfs-snapshots-for-peace-of-mind-to-setup-automatic-zfs-snapshots-on-my-laptop-and-servers-using-zfs-autobackup-https-github.com-psy0rz-zfs_autobackup-.</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://board.circlewithadot.net/topic/2b134d82-5a44-4843-bd8f-ed8717efad3c/i-ve-followed-@stefano-s-excellent-guide-https-it-notes.dragas.net-2024-08-21-automating-zfs-snapshots-for-peace-of-mind-to-setup-automatic-zfs-snapshots-on-my-laptop-and-servers-using-zfs-autobackup-https-github.com-psy0rz-zfs_autobackup-.</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[kedara@mastodon.bsd.cafe]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Invalid Date</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
