I am a zrep user, zrep provide a clear command example to start with, it clear state I should make A to B for init, then regular do some cron job,

but that's quite confuse when I read on simplesnap,

because I use these tool for my small home server which contain both source pool and target pool, simplesnap imply it do backup for everything which is not what you want when everything is on the same machine,

my guess is I should use simplesnap --local --backupdataset zpool --datasetdest zbackup ?

I think I will figure it out in few hours, but still, few lines sample for localonly will make this much clear

ok, it doesn't handle mountpoint=legacy, guess I have to stick with zrep
