DESCRIPTION

       simplesnap is a simple way to send ZFS snapshots across a network.  Although it can  serve
       many  purposes,  its primary goal is to manage backups from one ZFS filesystem to a backup
       filesystem also running ZFS, using incremental backups to  minimize  network  traffic  and
       disk usage.

       simplesnap  is  FLEXIBLE;  it  is  designed  to  perfectly  compliment snapshotting tools,
       permitting rotating backups with arbitrary retention periods.  It lets  multiple  machines
       back  up  a  single  target,  lets  one machine back up multiple targets, and keeps it all
       straight.

       simplesnap is EASY; there is no configuration file needed.  One ZFS property is  available
       to  exclude  datasets/filesystems.   ZFS datasets are automatically discovered on machines
       being backed up.

       simplesnap is designed to maximize SAFETY;  it  is  robust  in  the  face  of  interrupted
       transfers, and needs little help to keep running.

       simplesnap  is  designed  to  maximize  SECURITY;  unlike  many similar tools, it does not
       require full root access to the machines being backed up.  It runs only a small wrapper as
       root, and the wrapper has only three commands it implements.

   FEATURE LIST
       Besides the above, simplesnap:

       • Does one thing and does it well.  It is designed to be used with a snapshot auto-rotator
         on both ends (such as zfSnap).  simplesnap will transfer snapshots made by other  tools,
         but will not destroy them on either end.

       • Requires  ssh public key authorization to the host being backed up, but does not require
         permission to run arbitrary commands.  It has a wrapper  to  run  on  the  backup  host,
         written  in  bash,  which accepts only three operations and performs them simply.  It is
         suitable for a locked-down authorized_keys file.

       • Creates minimal snapshots for its own internal purposes, generally leaving no more  than
         1 or 2 per dataset, and reaps them automatically without touching others.

       • Optionally  supports  ZFS  bookmarks, preventing backup-related snapshots from consuming
         space on the system being backed up.

       • Is a small program, easily audited.  In fact, most of the code  is  devoted  to  sanity-
         checking, security, and error checking.

       • Automatically  discovers  what datasets to back up from the remote.  Uses a user-defined
         zfs property to exclude filesystems that should not be backed up.

       • Logs copiously to syslog on all hosts involved in backups.

       • Intelligently supports a single machine being backed up by  multiple  backup  hosts,  or
         onto  multiple  sets  of  backup  media (when, for instance, backup media is cycled into
         offsite storage)

   METHOD OF OPERATION
       simplesnap's operation is very simple.

       The simplesnap program runs on the machine that stores the backups -- we'll  call  it  the
       backuphost.   There is a restricted remote command wrapper called simplesnapwrap that runs
       on the machine being backed up -- we'll call it the activehost.  simplesnapwrap  is  never
       invoked directly by the end-user; it is always called remotely by simplesnap.

       With  simplesnap,  the backuphost always connects to the activehost -- never the other way
       round.

       simplesnap runs in the backuphost,  and  first  connects  to  the  simplesnapwrap  on  the
       activehost   and   asks   it  for  a  list  of  the  ZFS  datasets  ("listfs"  operation).
       simplesnapwrap responds with a list  of  all  ZFS  datasets  that  were  not  flagged  for
       exclusion.

       Next,  simplesnap connects back to simplesnapwrap once for each dataset to be backed up --
       the "sendback" operation.  simplesnap passes along to it only two things: the setname  and
       the dataset (filesystem) name.

       simplesnapwrap  looks  to see if there is an existing simplesnap snapshot corresponding to
       that SETNAME.  If not, it creates one and sends it  as  a  full,  non-incremental  backup.
       That completes the job for that dataset.

       If  there  is  an  existing  snapshot  for that SETNAME, simplesnapwrap creates a new one,
       constructing the snapshot name containing a timestamp  and  the  SETNAME,  then  sends  an
       incremental, using the oldest snapshot from that setname as the basis for zfs send -I.

       After  the  backuphost  has  observed  zfs  receive  exiting  without  error,  it contacts
       simplesnapwrap once more and requests the  "reap"  operation.   This  cleans  up  the  old
       snapshots  for  the  given  SETNAME,  leaving  only  the  most recent.  This is a separate
       operation in simplesnapwrap ensuring that even if the transmission is  interrupted,  still
       it will be OK in the end.

       The  idea  is  that  some  system  like  zfSnap will be used on both ends to make periodic
       snapshots and clean them up.  One  can  use  careful  prefix  names  with  zfSnap  to  use
       different  prefixes on each activehost, and then implement custom cleanup rules with -F on
       the holderhost.

QUICK START

       This section will describe how a  first-time  simplesnap  user  can  get  up  and  running
       quickly.  It assumes you already have simplesnap installed and working on your system.  If
       not, please follow the instructions in the INSTALL.txt file in the source distribution.

       As above, I will refer to the machine storing the backups  as  the  "backuphost"  and  the
       machine being backed up as the "activehost".

       First,  on  the backuphost, as root, generate an ssh keypair that will be used exclusively
       for simplesnap.

       ssh-keygen -t rsa -f ~/.ssh/id_rsa_simplesnap

       When prompted for a passphrase, leave it empty.

       Now, on the activehost, edit or create a file called  ~/.ssh/authorized_keys.   Initialize
       it  with the content of ~/.ssh/id_rsa_simplesnap.pub from the backuphost.  (Or, add to the
       end, if you already have lines in the file.)  Then, at the beginning of that one very long
       line, add text like this:

       command="/usr/sbin/simplesnapwrap",from="1.2.3.4",
       no-port-forwarding,no-X11-forwarding,no-pty

       (I broke that line into two for readability, but this must all be on a single line in your
       file.)

       The 1.2.3.4 is the IP address that connections from the backuphost  will  appear  to  come
       from.   It may be omitted if the IP is not static, but it affords a little extra security.
       The line will wind up looking like:

       command="/usr/sbin/simplesnapwrap",from="1.2.3.4",
       no-port-forwarding,no-X11-forwarding,no-pty ssh-rsa AAAA....

       (Again, this should all be on one huge line.)

       If  there  are  any  ZFS   datasets   you   do   not   want   to   be   backed   up,   set
       org.complete.simplesnap:exclude property on the activehost to on.  For instance:

       zfs set org.complete.simplesnap:exclude=on tank/junkdata

       Now, back on the backuphost, you should be able to run:

       ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa_simplesnap activehost

       say yes when asked if you want to add the key to the known_hosts file.  At this point, you
       should see output containing:

       "simplesnapwrap: This program is to be run from ssh."

       If you see that, then simplesnapwrap was properly invoked remotely.

       Now, create a ZFS filesystem to hold your backups.  For instance:

       zfs create tank/simplesnap

       I often recommend compression for simplesnap datasets, so:

       zfs set compression=lz4 tank/simplesnap

       (If that gives an error, use compression=on instead.)

       I also recommend disabling the creation of /dev/zvol entries  for  backed-up  filesystems,
       so:

       zfs set volmode=none tank/simplesnap

       Now, you can run the backup:

       simplesnap  --host  activehost  --setname mainset --store tank/simplesnap --sshcmd "ssh -i
       /root/.ssh/id_rsa_simplesnap"

       You can monitor progress in /var/log/syslog.  If all goes well, you will  see  filesystems
       start to be populated under tank/simplesnap/host.

       Simple!

       Now,  go  test  that you have the data you expected to: look at your STORE filesystems and
       make sure they have everything expected.  Test repeatedly over time that you  can  restore
       as you expect from your backups.

ADVANCED: SETNAME USAGE

       Most  people  will always use the same SETNAME.  The SETNAME is used to track and name the
       snapshots on the remote end.  simplesnap tries to always leave one snapshot on the remote,
       to serve as the base for a future incremental.

       In  some  situations,  you  may  have  multiple  bases  for incrementals.  The two primary
       examples are two different backup servers backing up the same machine, or having two  sets
       of  backup media and rotating them to offsite storage.  In these situations, you will have
       to keep different snapshots on the activehost for the different backups, since  they  will
       be current to different points in time.

ADVANCED: ZFS BOOKMARKS

       simplesnap implements a fairly typical ZFS incremental backup strategy.  Newer versions of
       ZFS support bookmarks.  Bookmarks consume no space on the  server,  while  snapshots  keep
       their space held.

       In  practice,  this is generally not a problem for backups, since snapshots are frequently
       transferred and old ones removed.  In some infrequent  backup  situations,  it  may  be  a
       larger issue, and for those situations, simplesnap supports bookmarks.

       Please note, however, that bookmark support in simplesnap is not well-used or well-tested;
       please verify proper operation on non-production data before  attempting  to  use  it  for
       anything important.

       One  caveat  with  bookmarks  is  that  zfs  send  -I is not supported with them; instead,
       simplesnap has to fall back to zfs send -i.  This causes the intermediate snapshots to not
       be transferred.  You can work around this by snapshotting on the receiving end.

       So,    if    after    all    that,    you    still    want    to    try    it,   set   the
       org.complete.simplesnap:createbookmarks property to on for any  dataset  for  which  you'd
       like to use bookmarks.

OPTIONS

       All  simplesnap  options begin with two dashes (`--').  Most take a parameter, which is to
       be separated from the option by a space.  The equals sign is not  a  valid  separator  for
       simplesnap.

       The  normal  simplesnap mode is backing up.  An alternative check mode is available, which
       requires fewer parameters.  This mode is described below.

       --backupdataset DATASET
              Normally, simplesnap automatically obtains a list of datasets to back up  from  the
              remote,   and   backs   up   all   of   them   except   those   that   define   the
              org.complete.simplesnap:exclude=on property.  With this option, simplesnap does not
              bother  to ask the remote for a list of datasets, and instead backs up only the one
              precise DATASET given.  For now, ignored when --check is given, but that may change
              in the future.  It would be best to not specify this option with --check for now.

       --check TIMEFRAME
              Do  not  back  up,  but  check existing backups.  If any datasets' newest backup is
              older than TIMEFRAME, print an error and exit with a nonzero code.  Scans all hosts
              unless  a specific host is given with --host.  The parameter is in the format given
              to GNU date(1); for instance, --check "30 days ago".  Remember  to  enclose  it  in
              quotes if it contains spaces.

       --reaponly
              Do  not  back up, but perform the reap of old simplesnap-generated snapshots on the
              local end.  Only useful if --noreap is in use for backups.

       --datasetdest DEST
              Valid only with --backupdataset, gives a specific destination for the backup, whith
              may  be  outside  the STORE.  The STORE must still exist, as it is used for storing
              lockfiles and such.

       --host HOST
              Gives the name of the host to back up.  This is both passed to ssh and used to name
              the backup sets.

              In  a  few  situations,  one  may  not  wish  to use the same name for both.  It is
              recommend to use the Host  and  HostName  options  in  ~/.ssh/config  to  configure
              aliases in this situation.

       --local
              Specifies that the host being backed up is local to the machine.  Do not use ssh to
              contact it, and invoke the wrapper directly.  You would not need to  give  --sshcmd
              in  this  case.   For instance: simplesnap --local --store /bakfs/simplesnap --host
              server1 --setname bak1

       --noreap
              Skips the usual reaping of old simplesnap-generated snapshots  on  the  destination
              after a successful receive.  Useful when the destination is not actually ZFS, or in
              conjunction with a later --reaponly.

              This has no impact on the reaping of old simplesnap-generated snapshots on the host
              being backed up; that reaping will continue as usual.

       --sshcmd COMMAND
              Gives the command to use to connect to the remote host.  Defaults to "ssh".  It may
              be used to select an alternative configuration file or keypair.  Remember to  quote
              it  per  your  shell  if  it  contains  spaces.   For  example:  --sshcmd  "ssh  -i
              /root/.id_rsa_simplesnap".  This command is ignored  when  --local  or  --check  is
              given.

       --receivecmd COMMAND
              Gives  the  command to use to receive a ZFS dataset; defaults to "/sbin/zfs receive
              -u -o readonly=on mountpoint".  It is strongly  recommended  to  never  access  the
              backed up datasets directly, but rather to use clones.

              This command does not have to actually be zfs; for instance, in certain situations,
              it may be valuable to queue the data or save it off in a file for use on a  non-ZFS
              target.  In those cases, --noreap should also be given.

       --setname SETNAME
              Gives  the  backup  set  name.  Can just be a made-up word if multiple sets are not
              needed; for instance, the hostname of the backup server.  This is used as  part  of
              the snapshot name.

       --store STORE
              Gives  the ZFS dataset name where the data will be stored.  Should not begin with a
              slash.  The mountpoint will be obtained from the ZFS subsystem.  Always required.

       --wrapcmd COMMAND
              Gives the path to simplesnapwrap (which  must  be  on  the  remote  machine  unless
              --local   is  given).   Not  usually  relevant,  since  the  command  parameter  in
              ~root/.ssh/authorized_keys gives the path.  Default: "simplesnapwrap"

BACKUP INTERROGATION

       Since simplesnap stores backups in standard ZFS datasets, you can use standard  ZFS  tools
       to obtain information about backups.  Here are some examples.

   SPACE USED PER HOST
       Try something like this:

       # zfs list -r -d 1 tank/store
       NAME               USED  AVAIL  REFER  MOUNTPOINT
       tank/store         540G   867G    34K  /tank/store
       tank/store/host1   473G   867G    32K  /tank/store/host1
       tank/store/host2  54.9G   867G    32K  /tank/store/host2
       tank/store/host3  12.2G   867G    31K  /tank/store/host3

       Here, you can see that the total size of the simplesnap data is 540G - the USED value from
       the top level.  In this example, host1 was using the most space -- 473G -- and  host3  the
       least -- 12.2G.  There is 867G available on this zpool for backups.

       The  -r  parameter  to zfs list requests a recursive report, but the -d 1 parameter sets a
       maximum depth of 1 -- so you can see just the top-level hosts without all their  component
       datasets.

   SPACE USED BY A HOST
       Let's  say  that  you  had  the  above  example,  and want to drill down into more detail.
       Perhaps, for instance, we continue the above example and drill down into host2:

       # zfs list -r tank/store/host2
       NAME                                 USED  AVAIL  REFER  MOUNTPOINT
       tank/store/host2                    54.9G   867G    32K  /tank/...
       tank/store/host2/tank               49.8G   867G    32K  /tank/...
       tank/store/host2/tank/home          7.39G   867G  6.93G  /tank/...
       tank/store/host2/tank/vm            42.4G   867G    30K  /tank/...
       tank/store/host2/tank/vm/vm1        32.0G   867G  29.7G  -
       tank/store/host2/tank/vm/vm2        10.4G   867G  10.4G  -
       tank/store/host2/rpool              5.12G   867G    32K  /tank/...
       tank/store/host2/rpool/misc          521M   867G   521M  /tank/...
       tank/store/host2/rpool/host2-1      4.61G   867G    33K  /tank/...
       tank/store/host2/rpool/host2-1/ROOT  317M   867G   312M  /tank/...
       tank/store/host2/rpool/host2-1/usr  3.76G   867G  3.76G  /tank/...
       tank/store/host2/rpool/host2-1/var   554M   867G   401M  /tank/...

       I've trimmed the "mountpoint" column here so it doesn't get too wide for the screen.

       You see here the same 54.9G used as in the previous example, but  now  you  can  trace  it
       down.   There were two zpools on host2: tank and rpool.  Most of the backup space -- 49.8G
       of the 54.9G -- is used by tank, and only 5.12G by rpool.  And in tank, 42.4G is  used  by
       vm.   Tracing  it  down, of that 42.4G used by vm, 32G is in vm1 and 10.4G in vm2.  Notice
       how the values at each level of the tree include their descendents.

       So in this example, vm1 and vm2 are zvols corresponding to virtual machines,  and  clearly
       take  up  a  lot  of space.  Notice how vm1 says it uses 32.0G but in the refer column, it
       only refers to 29.7G?  That means that the latest backup for vm2 used 29.7G, but when  you
       add in the snapshots for that dataset, the total space consumed is 32.0G.

       Let's  look  at  an  alternative  view  that will make the size consumed by snapshots more
       clear:

       # zfs list -o space -r tank/store/host2
       NAME                         AVAIL   USED  USEDSNAP  USEDDS  USEDCHILD

       .../host2/rpool/host2-1/var   867G   554M      153M    401M          0

       (Again, I've trimmed some irrelevant columns from this output.)

       The AVAIL and USED columns are the same as before, but now you have a  breakdown  of  what
       makes  up the USED column.  USEDSNAP is the space used by the snapshots of that particular
       dataset.  USEDDS is the space used by that dataset directly -- the same value  as  was  in
       REFER before.  And USEDCHILD is the space used by descendents of that dataset.

       The  USEDSNAP  column is the easiest way to see the impact your retention policies have on
       your backup space consumption.

   VIEWING SNAPSHOTS OF A DATASET
       Let's take one example from before -- the 153M of snapshots in host2-1/var, and  see  what
       we can find.

       # zfs list -t snap -r tank/store/host2/rpool/host2-1/var
       NAME                                              USED  AVAIL  REFER
       ...
       .../var@host2-hourly-2014-02-11_05.17.02--2d       76K      -   402M
       .../var@host2-hourly-2014-02-11_06.17.01--2d       77K      -   402M
       .../var@host2-hourly-2014-02-11_07.17.01--2d     18.8M      -   402M
       .../var@host2-daily-2014-02-11_07.17.25--1w        79K      -   402M
       .../var@host2-hourly-2014-02-11_08.17.01--2d      156K      -   402M
       .../var@host2-monthly-2014-02-11_09.01.36--1m     114K      -   402M
       ...

       In this output, the REFER column is the amount of data pointed to by that snapshot -- that
       is, the size of /var at the moment the snapshot is made.   And  the  USED  column  is  the
       amount of space that would be freed if just that snapshot were deleted.

       Note this important point: it is normal for the sum of the values in the USED column to be
       less than the space consumed by the snapshots of the datasets as reported by  USEDSNAP  in
       the  previous  example.  The reason is that the USED column is the data unique to that one
       snapshot.  If, for instance, 100MB of data existed on the system being backed up for three
       hours  yesterday,  each  snapshot  could very well show less than 100KB used, because that
       100MB isn't unique to a particular snapshot.  Until, that is, two of the  three  snapshots
       referncing  the  100MB data are destroyed; then the USED value of the last one referencing
       it will suddenly jump to 100MB higher because now it references unique data.

       One other point -- an indication that the last backup was successfully transmitted is  the
       presence of a __simplesnap_...__ snapshot at the end of the list.  Do not delete it.

   FINDING WHAT CHANGED OVER TIME
       The  zfs  diff  command  can  let you see what changed over time -- either across a single
       snapshot, or across many.  Let's take a look.

       # zfs diff .../var@host2-hourly-2014-02-11_05.17.02--2d \
         .../var@host2-hourly-2014-02-11_06.17.01--2d \
         | sort -k2 | less
       M    /tank/store/host2/rpool/host2-1/var/log/Xorg.0.log
       M    /tank/store/host2/rpool/host2-1/var/log/auth.log
       M    /tank/store/host2/rpool/host2-1/var/log/daemon.log
       ...
       M    /tank/store/host2/rpool/host2-1/var/spool/anacron/cron.daily
       M    /tank/store/host2/rpool/host2-1/var/spool/anacron/cron.monthly
       M    /tank/store/host2/rpool/host2-1/var/spool/anacron/cron.weekly
       M    /tank/store/host2/rpool/host2-1/var/tmp

       Here you can see why there was just a few KB of changes in that snapshot:  mostly  just  a
       little bit of logging was happening on the system.  Now let's inspect the larger snapshot:

       # zfs diff .../var@host2-hourly-2014-02-11_07.17.01--2d \
          .../var@host2-daily-2014-02-11_07.17.25--1w \
          | sort -k2 | less
       M    /tank/store/host2/rpool/host2-1/var/backups
       +    /tank/store/host2/rpool/host2-1/var/backups/dpkg.status.0
       -    /tank/store/host2/rpool/host2-1/var/backups/dpkg.status.0
       +    /tank/store/host2/rpool/host2-1/var/backups/dpkg.status.1.gz
       R    /tank/store/host2/rpool/host2-1/var/backups/dpkg.status.1.gz -> /tank/store/host2/rpool/host2-1/var/backups/dpkg.status.2.gz
       R    /tank/store/host2/rpool/host2-1/var/backups/dpkg.status.2.gz -> /tank/store/host2/rpool/host2-1/var/backups/dpkg.status.3.gz
       ...
       M    /tank/store/host2/rpool/host2-1/var/cache/apt
       R    /tank/store/host2/rpool/host2-1/var/cache/apt/pkgcache.bin.KdsMLu -> /tank/store/host2/rpool/host2-1/var/cache/apt/pkgcache.bin

       Here  you  can  see  some  file  rotation  going on, and a temporary file being renamed to
       permanent.  Normal daily activity on a system, but now you know what was taking up space.

WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND GOOD PRACTICES

   IMPORTANCE OF TESTING
       Any backup scheme should be tested  carefully  before  being  relied  upon  to  serve  its
       intended  purpose.   This  item  is  not simplesnap-specific, but pertains to every backup
       solution: test that you are backing up the data you expect to before you need it.

   USE OF ZFS RECEIVE AND SECURITY IMPLICATIONS
       In order to account for various situations that could lead to divergence  of  filesystems,
       including the simple act of mounting them, simplesnap uses zfs receive -u -o readonly=on.

       You  are  strongly  encouraged to import your backuphost zpool with -R, or at least -N, to
       prevent a malicious mountpoint property  on  the  sending  side  from  causing  unexpected
       effects  on  the  backuphost.  Further, accessing the backed-up data should always be done
       via clone.

   EXTRANEOUS SNAPSHOT BUILDUP
       Since simplesnap sends all snapshots, it is possible that locally-created  snapshots  made
       outside  of  your  rotation scheme will also be sent to your backuphost.  These may not be
       automatically reaped there,  and  may  stick  around.   An  example  at  the  end  of  the
       cron.daily.simplesnap.backuphost  file  included  with  simplesnap is one way to check for
       these.  They could automatically be reaped with zfs destroy as  well,  but  this  must  be
       carefully  tuned  to  local requirements, so an example of doing that is intentionally not
       supplied with the distribution.

   INTERNAL SIMPLESNAP SNAPSHOTS
       simplesnap creates snapshots beginning with __simplesnap_ followed by  your  SETNAME.   Do
       not  create,  remove, or alter these snapshots in any way, either on the activehost or the
       backuphost.   Doing so may lead to unpredictable side-effects.

BUGS

       Ordinarily, an interrupted transfer is no problem for simplesnap.  However, the very first
       transfer  of a dataset poses a bit of a problem, since the simplesnap wrapper can't detect
       failure in this one special case.  If your first transfer  gets  interrupted,  simply  zfs
       destroy  the  __simplesnap_...__  snapshot  on  the  activehost  and rerun.  NEVER DESTROY
       __simplesnap SNAPSHOTS IN ANY OTHER SITUATION!

       If, by way of the  org.complete.simplesnap:exclude  property  or  the  --backupdataset  or
       --datasetdest  parameters,  you  do  not  request a parent dataset to be backed up, but do
       request a descendent dataset to be backed up, you may get an error  on  the  first  backup
       because  the dataset tree leading to the destination location for that dataset has not yet
       been created.  simplesnap performs only  the  narrow  actions  you  request.   Running  an
       appropriate zfs create command will rectify the situation.
