ZFS Snapshot All
================

Recursively snapshot all zpools

Examples
--------

Snapshot all zpools with the prefix "foo"

# ./zfs-snapshot-all foo
zfs snapshot -r goliath@foo_1448256528
zfs snapshot -r zones@foo_1448256528

Snapshot all zpools with the prefix "bar" without actually executing
any snapshot commands (dry-run)

# ./zfs-snapshot-all -n bar
zfs snapshot -r goliath@bar_1448256538 # dry-run: no action taken
zfs snapshot -r zones@bar_1448256538 # dry-run: no action taken

Snapshot the pools given as arguments, "goliath", "zones", and "fake"
with the prefix "foo"

# ./zfs-snapshot-all foo goliath zones fake
zfs snapshot -r goliath@foo_1448256549
zfs snapshot -r zones@foo_1448256549
zfs snapshot -r fake@foo_1448256549
cannot open 'fake': dataset does not exist
# echo $?
1

This script can be best used with cron for automated snapshots

1 0 * * * /opt/custom/bin/zfs-snapshot-all automated_daily >> /var/log/autosnap.log 2>&1
2 0 * * 0 /opt/custom/bin/zfs-snapshot-all automated_weekly >> /var/log/autosnap.log 2>&1
3 0 1 * * /opt/custom/bin/zfs-snapshot-all automated_monthly >> /var/log/autosnap.log 2>&1
4 0 1 1 * /opt/custom/bin/zfs-snapshot-all automated_yearly >> /var/log/autosnap.log 2>&1

And then [zfs-prune-snapshots](https://github.com/bahamas10/zfs-prune-snapshots)
can be used to cleanup snapshots as they get too old... for example

11 0 * * * /opt/custom/bin/zfs-prune-snapshots -p automated_daily_ 7d >> /var/log/autosnap.log 2>&1
12 0 * * 0 /opt/custom/bin/zfs-prune-snapshots -p automated_weekly_ 4w >> /var/log/autosnap.log 2>&1
13 0 1 * * /opt/custom/bin/zfs-prune-snapshots -p automated_monthly_ 12M >> /var/log/autosnap.log 2>&1
14 0 1 1 * /opt/custom/bin/zfs-prune-snapshots -p automated_yearly_ 10y >> /var/log/autosnap.log 2>&1

Usage
-----

usage: zfs-snapshot-all [-hnx] [[pool1] pool2 ...]

recursively snapshot all zpools

examples
# zfs-snapshot-all foo
snapshot all zpools with the prefix foo

# zfs-snapshot-all bar pool1 pool2
snapshot zpools pool1 and pool2 with the prefix bar

# zfs-snapshot-all -x baz pool3
snapshot zpool pool3 with the *exact* snapshot name 'baz'

options
-h print this message and exit
-n dry-run, don't actually create snapshots
-x don't automatically append the date in epoch to
the snapshot name
-V print the version number and exit

Development Notes
-----------------

### Style

[shellcheck](https://www.shellcheck.net/) is used to check bash style. Use
`make check` to run the style checker:

$ make check
awk 'length($0) > 80 { exit(1); }' zfs-snapshot-all
shellcheck zfs-snapshot-all

Bash style guide: https://www.daveeddy.com/bash/

### Manpage

Use `make man` to regenerate the manpage:

$ make man
md2man-roff man/zfs-snapshot-all.md > man/zfs-snapshot-all.1
$ ./man/zfs-snapshot-all.1

Manpages are generated with [md2man](https://github.com/sunaku/md2man) which
requires `ruby-devel` to be installed. Once `ruby` is installed, `md2man` can
be installed locally with:

$ gem install --user-install md2man
