This question is aimed mainly at Gea but others may be able to help.
I'm running OmniOS with Gea's excellent Napp-It on top. I'm currently replicating several ZFS filesystems from one pool to another pool using Napp-it's replication feature once per week.
I've noticed that on both the source pool and the target pool that I have an increasing number of matching snapshots for each one of these snapshots and would like a way to cull these.
After the replication job is complete I'd like to:
- Remove the snapshot from the source
- Keep a maximum of 52 (1 year @ 1 per week) snapshots on the target
Is this possible using the GUI or is this something that I'll have to do outside of Napp-it and from a script instead? If so, could anyone provide some assistance with this?
I already have daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly snapshots on the source pool configured for my regular snapshots and would like to keep these unmodified or, perhaps, use these as the source of the replication to the target pool instead of creating a new snapshot for replication.
Thanks,
M
