zfs-auto-snapshot:

An alternative implementation of the zfs-auto-snapshot service for Linux that is compatible with zfs-linux and zfs-fuse.

Automatically create, rotate, and destroy periodic ZFS snapshots. This is the utility that creates the @zfs-auto-snap_frequent, @zfs-auto-snap_hourly, @zfs-auto-snap_daily, @zfs-auto-snap_weekly, and @zfs-auto-snap_monthly snapshots if it is installed.

This program is a posixly correct bourne shell script. It depends only on the zfs utilities and cron, and can run in the dash shell.

Installation:

wget https://github.com/zfsonlinux/zfs-auto-snapshot/archive/upstream/1.2.4.tar.gz tar -xzf 1.2.4.tar.gz cd zfs-auto-snapshot-upstream-1.2.4 make install
