= Zetaback ZFS backup and recovery management system =

Zetaback is a thin-agent based ZFS backup tool.  It is designed to:

  * run from a central host
  * scan clients for new ZFS filesystems
  * manage varying desired backup intervals (per host) for
    * full backups
    * incremental backups
  * maintain varying retention policies (per host)
  * summarize existing backups
  * restore any host:fs backup at any point in time to any target host

== Prerequisites ==

  * Backup host with a '''LOT''' of disk space.
  * SSH in place where a user on the backup server can perform a password-less remote login to the clients (using ssh keys) and execute the agent script as root.
  * Perl 5 on client and server.
  * ZFS tools installed on client.
