Per title.

can you describe more detail? recursive? not multiple? why you need it? and can autosnapshot(I'm planning to add) feature be alternative?

The idea is that when you create a recursive snapshot, the child datasets are included.

Example usage: \dataset_nextcloud \dataset_nextcloud_os \dataset_nextcloud_db \dataset_nextcloud_files

With child datasets set up like this I can restore os, database and files snapshots separately if needed.

However, if I want to restore the entire dataset, I'll have to create snapshots for all child datasets separately. With recursive I can restore the dataset_nextcloud with it's child datasets os, db and files all in one go.
