Any good guide for setting up a server with ZFS so that backups are done with snapshots and sent to a cloud service or something?

Any good guide for setting up a server with ZFS so that backups are done with snapshots and sent to a cloud service or something? Or does that make sense at all?

@nicd read up on zfs send/recv, some days it's as simple as pic related, there's even a few services that do just this like https://www.rsync.net/products/zfsintro.html or https://zfs.rent/
or are you expecting something more like https://github.com/presslabs/z3 where it lands into s3?

So I suppose I'd have to write the snapshots to files that the service would then sync. Not really the best choice when I think I'd have to write full snapshots every once in a while for safety. I'd probably need to look for a different cloud storage provider.

@nicd for Jottacloud, you might be able to make an rclone profile for it, and then use restic as the thing that manages the snapshotting/dedup/compression and such
