Documentation not clear on how SRC and DST plans relate to send/receive schedule #396

Closed rcproam closed 3 years ago

rcproam commented 5 years ago

With the following znapzend plan I was hoping to snapshot the src every 8 hours, yet only send snapshots to the dst once per day (at midnight):

backup plan: zpool1/vol1-nfs dst_0 = root@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:zpool1/svr-lf-nas/vol1-nfs dst_0_plan = 7days=>1day enabled = on mbuffer = /usr/bin/mbuffer mbuffer_size = 1G post_znap_cmd = off pre_znap_cmd = off recursive = on src = zpool1/vol1-nfs src_plan = 6days=>8hours,7days=>1day tsformat = %Y-%m-%d-%H%M%S zend_delay = 0

However, znapzend ends up sending snapshots to the dst every 8 hours. Is there any way to create a src snapshot plan that does not get replicated to dst?

Seems my issue may be related to issue #144

Znapzend doesn't support that.

Ok, thanks for the prompt reply redmop :-)

To me it seems illogical that the send/recv replication occurs according to the src plan rather than the dst plan,

I may create a feature request, but this seems more of a design logic issue rather than a missing feature.
