Ralf’s backup script seems very interesting. Unfortunately, I can’t find the actual backup script in this post. I see a FTP script and zones information, and the link contained in Ralf’s comment is no longer valid. I’m trying to find a script that can create a snapshot (at a given time and/or after a rsync transfer) and keep a given number of snapshots (a certain number of hourly, dailies, weeklies, etc.). I’m planning on using a Solaris box as a backup server, and would like to rsync to the Solaris server and then have a snapshot created following the rsync session. I’m not sure if Ralf’s script performs the snapshot management functionality I’m looking for, but it sounds like it would be a good starting point.

And sadly, Solaris 10 doesn’t come with the `seq` command, so I have to provide you with that one, too. Of course, the old version of the script works, too, but just not as smooth.

You’ll find the new version here: http://sunstrokes.de/index.php?/archives/1-Transferring-ZFS-snapshots-to-remote-locations.html
