Allow disabling of znapzend on children of recursively enabled pool #377

Closed driesmp closed 6 years ago

driesmp commented 6 years ago

Hello,

I find it easy to just recursively enable my root pool for znapzend to work on. Altough, I would like to disable only a few datasets that live under the root pool. I created my config on zroot. I want to disable my config on zroot/usr/src.

xxxx@vados:~ # sudo znapzendzetup disable zroot/usr/src ERROR: cannot disable backup config for zroot/usr/src. Did you create it?

Can't znapzend simply tune the "org.znapzend:enabled on" on the child to off?

recursive backups rely on recursive snapshots and these are a function of zfs ... you can not 'disable' them ... what you could do (with a patch) is teach znapzend to then not send snapshots of a particular fileset to any destinations ....

I see, is this one similar to "issue" 345?
