When using --no-thinning --no-snapshot --no-send it still does usefull stuff like checking common snapshots and showing incompatible snapshots

 ## Introduction
 
-This is a tool I wrote to make replicating ZFS datasets easy and reliable. 
+ZFS-autobackup tries to be the most reliable and easiest to use tool, while having all the features.
 
 You can either use it as a **backup** tool, **replication** tool or **snapshot** tool.
 
-You can select what to backup by setting a custom `ZFS property`. This allows you to set and forget: Configure it so it backups your entire pool, and you never have to worry about backupping again. Even new datasets you create later will be backupped.

+## How zfs-autobackup handles encryption
+
+In normal operation datasets are transferred unaltered:
+
+* Source datasets that are encrypted will be send over as such and stay encrypted at the target side. (In ZFS this is called raw-mode) You dont need keys at the target side if you dont want to access the data.
+* Source datasets that are plain will stay that way on the target. (Even if the specified target-path IS encrypted.) 
+
+Basically you dont have to do anything or worry about anything. 
+
+### Decrypting/encrypting
+
+Things get different if you want to change the encryption-state of a dataset during transfer:
+
+* If you want to decrypt encrypted datasets before sending them, you should use the `--decrypt` option. Datasets will then be stored plain at the target.
+* If you want to encrypt plain datasets when they are received, you should use the `--encrypt` option. Datasets will then be stored encrypted at the target. (Datasets that are already encrypted will still be sent over unaltered in raw-mode.) 
+* If you also want re-encrypt encrypted datasets with the target-side encryption you can use both options. 
+
+Note 1: The --encrypt option will rely on inheriting encryption parameters from the parent datasets on the target side. You are responsible for setting those up and loading the keys. So --encrypt is no guarantee for encryption: If you dont set it up, it cant encrypt.
+
+Note 2: Decide what you want at an early stage: If you change the --encrypt or --decrypt parameter after the inital sync you might get weird and wonderfull errors. (nothing dangerous)
+
+I'll add some tips when the issues start to get in on github. :)
+
+## Transfer buffering, compression and rate limiting.
+
+If you're transferring over a slow link it might be useful to use `--compress=zstd-fast`. This will compres the data before sending, so it uses less bandwidth.
+
+You can also limit the datarate by using the `--rate` option.
+
+The `--buffer` option might also help since it acts as an IO buffer: zfs send can vary wildly between completely idle and huge bursts of data. When zfs send is idle, the buffer will continue transferring data over the slow link.
+
+It's also possible to add custom send or receive pipes with `--send-pipe` and `--recv-pipe`.
+
+These options all work together and the buffer on the receiving side is only added if appropriate. When all options are active:
+
+#### On the sending side:
+
+zfs send -> send buffer -> custom send pipes -> compression -> transfer rate limiter
+
+#### On the receiving side:
+decompression -> custom recv pipes -> buffer -> zfs recv
+

 * Use ```--debug``` if something goes wrong and you want to see the commands that are executed. This will also stop at the first error.

-### Speeding up SSH
+### Performance tips
+
+If you have a large number of datasets its important to keep the following tips in mind.
+
+Also it might help to use the --buffer option to add IO buffering during the data transfer. This might speed up things since it smooths out sudden IO bursts that are frequent during a zfs send or recv.
+
+#### Some statistics
+
+To get some idea of how fast zfs-autobackup is, I did some test on my laptop, with a SKHynix_HFS512GD9TNI-L2B0B disk. I'm using zfs 2.0.2.  
+
+I created 100 empty datasets and measured the total runtime of zfs-autobackup. I used all the performance tips below. (--no-holds, --allow-empty, ssh ControlMaster)
+
+* without ssh: 15 seconds. (>6 datasets/s)
+* either ssh-target or ssh-source=localhost: 20 seconds (5 datasets/s)
+* both ssh-target and ssh-source=localhost: 24 seconds (4 datasets/s)
+
+To be bold I created 2500 datasets, but that also was no problem. So it seems it should be possible to use zfs-autobackup with thousands of datasets.
+
+If you need more performance let me know.
+
+NOTE: There is actually a performance regression in ZFS version 2: https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/issues/11560 Use --no-progress as workaround.
+
+#### Less work
+
+You can make zfs-autobackup generate less work by using --no-holds and --allow-empty.
+
+This saves a lot of extra zfs-commands per dataset.

-## Backuping up a proxmox cluster with HA replication
+## Backup a proxmox cluster with HA replication
 
 Due to the nature of proxmox we had to make a few enhancements to zfs-autobackup. This will probably also benefit other systems that use their own replication in combination with zfs-autobackup.
 
 All data under rpool/data can be on multiple nodes of the cluster. The naming of those filesystem is unique over the whole cluster. Because of this we should backup rpool/data of all nodes to the same destination. This way we wont have duplicate backups of the filesystems that are replicated. Because of various options, you can even migrate hosts and zfs-autobackup will be fine. (and it will get the next backup from the new node automatically)
 
-In the example below we have 3 nodes, named h4, h5 and h6.
+In the example below we have 3 nodes, named pve1, pve2 and pve3.
-
-The backup will go to a machine named smartos03.
 
 ### Preparing the proxmox nodes
 
-On each node select the filesystems as following:
+No preparation is needed, the script will take care of everything. You only need to setup the ssh keys, so that the backup server can access the proxmox server.
 
-```console
+TIP: make sure your backup server is firewalled and cannot be reached from any production machine.
-root@h4:~# zfs set autobackup:h4_smartos03=true rpool
+
-root@h4:~# zfs set autobackup:h4_smartos03=false rpool/data
+### SSH config on backup server
-root@h4:~# zfs set autobackup:data_smartos03=child rpool/data
+
+I use ~/.ssh/config to specify how to reach the various hosts.
+
+In this example we are making an offsite copy and use portforwarding to reach the proxmox machines:
+```
+Host *
+    ControlPath ~/.ssh/control-master-%r@%h:%p
+    ControlMaster auto
+    ControlPersist 3600
+    Compression yes
+
+Host pve1
+    Hostname some.host.com
+    Port 10001
+
+Host pve2
+    Hostname some.host.com
+    Port 10002
+
+Host pve3
+    Hostname some.host.com
+    Port 10003
 ```
 
-* rpool will be backuped the usual way, and is named h4_smartos03. (each node will have a unique name)
+### Backup script
-* rpool/data will be excluded from the usual backup
-* The CHILDREN of rpool/data be selected for a cluster wide backup named data_smartos03. (each node uses the same backup name)
 
-### Preparing the backup server
+I use the following backup script on the backup server.
 
-Extra options needed for proxmox with HA:
+Adjust the variables HOSTS TARGET and NAME to your needs.
-
-* --no-holds: To allow proxmox to destroy our snapshots if a VM migrates to another node.
-* --ignore-replicated: To ignore the replicated filesystems of proxmox on the receiving proxmox nodes. (e.g: only backup from the node where the VM is active)
-* --min-change 200000: Ignore replicated works by checking if there are no changes since the last snapshot. However for some reason proxmox always has some small changes. (Probably house-keeping data are something? This always was fine and suddenly changed with an update)
-
