-## Installation
+## Getting started
 
-You only need to install zfs-autobackup on the side that initiates the backup. The other side doesnt need any extra configration.
+Please look at our wiki to [Get started](https://github.com/psy0rz/zfs_autobackup/wiki).
 
-### Using pip
+Or read the [Full manual](https://github.com/psy0rz/zfs_autobackup/wiki/Manual)
 
-The recommended way on most servers is to use [pip](https://pypi.org/project/zfs-autobackup/):
+# Tips
 
-```console
-[root@server ~]# pip install --upgrade zfs-autobackup
+To release files that are blocked, use this command if you want to delete
+
+```sh
+zfs list -t snap -o name | grep <dataset> | xargs -n 1 zfs release -r zfs_autobackup:offsite1
 ```
 
-This can also be used to upgrade zfs-autobackup to the newest stable version.
+If delete fails after, check other holds on the snapshot
 
-To install the latest beta version add the `--pre` option.
-
-### Using easy_install
-
-On older servers you might have to use easy_install
-
-```console
-[root@server ~]# easy_install zfs-autobackup
+```sh
+zfs holds path@snapshotname
 ```
-
-## Example
-
-In this example we're going to backup a machine called `server1` to a machine called `backup`.
-
-### Setup SSH login
-
-zfs-autobackup needs passwordless login via ssh. This means generating an ssh key and copying it to the remote server.
-
-#### Generate SSH key on `backup`
-
-On the backup-server that runs zfs-autobackup you need to create an SSH key. You only need to do this once.
-
-Use the `ssh-keygen` command and leave the passphrase empty:
-
-```console
-root@backup:~# ssh-keygen
-Generating public/private rsa key pair.
-Enter file in which to save the key (/root/.ssh/id_rsa):
-Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase):
-Enter same passphrase again:
-Your identification has been saved in /root/.ssh/id_rsa.
-Your public key has been saved in /root/.ssh/id_rsa.pub.
-The key fingerprint is:
-SHA256:McJhCxvaxvFhO/3e8Lf5gzSrlTWew7/bwrd2U2EHymE root@backup
-The key's randomart image is:
-+---[RSA 2048]----+
-|    + =          |
-|   + X *    E .  |
-|  . = B +  o o . |
-|   .   o +  o  o.|
-|        S o   .oo|
-|         . + o= +|
-|          . ++==.|
-|            .+o**|
-|           .. +B@|
-+----[SHA256]-----+
-root@backup:~#
-```
-
-#### Copy SSH key to `server1`
-
-Now you need to copy the public part of the key to `server1`
-
-The `ssh-copy-id` command is a handy tool to automate this. It will just ask for your password.
-
-```console
-root@backup:~# ssh-copy-id root@server1.server.com
-/usr/bin/ssh-copy-id: INFO: Source of key(s) to be installed: "/root/.ssh/id_rsa.pub"
-/usr/bin/ssh-copy-id: INFO: attempting to log in with the new key(s), to filter out any that are already installed
-/usr/bin/ssh-copy-id: INFO: 1 key(s) remain to be installed -- if you are prompted now it is to install the new keys
-Password:
-
-Number of key(s) added: 1
-
-Now try logging into the machine, with:   "ssh 'root@server1.server.com'"
-and check to make sure that only the key(s) you wanted were added.
-
-root@backup:~#
-```
-This allows the backup-server to login to `server1` as root without password.
-
-### Select filesystems to backup
-
-Its important to choose a unique and consistent backup name. In this case we name our backup: `offsite1`.
-
-On the source zfs system set the ```autobackup:offsite1``` zfs property to true:
-
-```console
-[root@server1 ~]# zfs set autobackup:offsite1=true rpool
-[root@server1 ~]# zfs get -t filesystem,volume autobackup:offsite1
-NAME                                    PROPERTY             VALUE                SOURCE
-rpool                                   autobackup:offsite1  true                 local
-rpool/ROOT                              autobackup:offsite1  true                 inherited from rpool
-rpool/ROOT/server1-1                    autobackup:offsite1  true                 inherited from rpool
-rpool/data                              autobackup:offsite1  true                 inherited from rpool
-rpool/data/vm-100-disk-0                autobackup:offsite1  true                 inherited from rpool
-rpool/swap                              autobackup:offsite1  true                 inherited from rpool
-...
-```
-
-ZFS properties are ```inherited``` by child datasets. Since we've set the property on the highest dataset, we're essentially backupping the whole pool.
-
-Because we don't want to backup everything, we can exclude certain filesystem by setting the property to false:
-
-```console
-[root@server1 ~]# zfs set autobackup:offsite1=false rpool/swap
-[root@server1 ~]# zfs get -t filesystem,volume autobackup:offsite1
-NAME                                    PROPERTY             VALUE                SOURCE
-rpool                                   autobackup:offsite1  true                 local
-rpool/ROOT                              autobackup:offsite1  true                 inherited from rpool
-rpool/ROOT/server1-1                    autobackup:offsite1  true                 inherited from rpool
-rpool/data                              autobackup:offsite1  true                 inherited from rpool
-rpool/data/vm-100-disk-0                autobackup:offsite1  true                 inherited from rpool
-rpool/swap                              autobackup:offsite1  false                local
-...
-```
-
-The autobackup-property can have 3 values:
- * ```true```: Backup the dataset and all its children 
- * ```false```: Dont backup the dataset and all its children. (used to exclude certain datasets)
- * ```child```: Only backup the children off the dataset, not the dataset itself.
-
-Only use the zfs-command to set these properties, not the zpool command. 
-
-### Running zfs-autobackup
-
-Run the script on the backup server and pull the data from the server specified by --ssh-source.
-
-```console
-[root@backup ~]# zfs-autobackup --ssh-source server1.server.com offsite1 backup/server1 --progress --verbose

-
-Note that this is called a "pull" backup: The backup server pulls the backup from the server. This is usually the preferred way.
-
-Its also possible to let a server push its backup to the backup-server. However this has security implications. In that case you would setup the SSH keys the other way around and use the --ssh-target parameter on the server.
-
-### Automatic backups
-
-Now every time you run the command, zfs-autobackup will create a new snapshot and replicate your data.
-
-Older snapshots will eventually be deleted, depending on the `--keep-source` and `--keep-target` settings. (The defaults are shown above under the 'Settings summary')
-
-Once you've got the correct settings for your situation, you can just store the command in a cronjob.
-
-Or just create a script and run it manually when you need it.
-
-## Use as snapshot tool
-
-You can use zfs-autobackup to only make snapshots.
-
-Just dont specify the target-path:
-```console
-root@ws1:~# zfs-autobackup test --verbose

-  (No target_path specified, only operated as snapshot tool.)
-```
-
-This also allows you to make several snapshots during the day, but only backup the data at night when the server is not busy.
-
-## Thinning out obsolete snapshots
-
-The thinner is the thing that destroys old snapshots on the source and target.
-
-The thinner operates "stateless": There is nothing in the name or properties of a snapshot that indicates how long it will be kept. Everytime zfs-autobackup runs, it will look at the timestamp of all the existing snapshots. From there it will determine which snapshots are obsolete according to your schedule. The advantage of this stateless system is that you can always change the schedule.
-
-Note that the thinner will ONLY destroy snapshots that are matching the naming pattern of zfs-autobackup. If you use `--other-snapshots`, it wont destroy those snapshots after replicating them to the target.
-
-### Destroying missing datasets
-
-When a dataset has been destroyed or deselected on the source, but still exists on the target we call it a missing dataset. Missing datasets will be still thinned out according to the schedule.
-
-The final snapshot will never be destroyed, unless you specify a **deadline** with the `--destroy-missing` option:
-
-In that case it will look at the last snapshot we took and determine if is older than the deadline you specified. e.g: `--destroy-missing 30d` will start destroying things 30 days after the last snapshot.
-
-#### After the deadline
-
-When the deadline is passed, all our snapshots, except the last one will be destroyed. Irregardless of the normal thinning schedule.
-
-The dataset has to have the following properties to be finally really destroyed:
-
-* The dataset has no direct child-filesystems or volumes.
-* The only snapshot left is the last one created by zfs-autobackup.
-* The remaining snapshot has no clones.
-
-### Thinning schedule
-
-The default thinning schedule is: `10,1d1w,1w1m,1m1y`.
-
-The schedule consists of multiple rules separated by a `,`
-
-A plain number specifies how many snapshots you want to always keep, regardless of time or interval.
-
-The format of the other rules is: `<Interval><TTL>`.
-
-* Interval: The minimum interval between the snapshots. Snapshots with intervals smaller than this will be destroyed.
-* TTL: The maximum time to life time of a snapshot, after that they will be destroyed.
-* These are the time units you can use for interval and TTL:
-  * `y`: Years
-  * `m`: Months
-  * `d`: Days
-  * `h`: Hours
-  * `min`: Minutes
-  * `s`: Seconds
-
-Since this might sound very complicated, the `--verbose` option will show you what it all means:
-
-```console
-  [Source] Keep the last 10 snapshots.
-  [Source] Keep every 1 day, delete after 1 week.
-  [Source] Keep every 1 week, delete after 1 month.
-  [Source] Keep every 1 month, delete after 1 year.
-```
-
-A snapshot will only be destroyed if it not needed anymore by ANY of the rules.
-
-You can specify as many rules as you need. The order of the rules doesn't matter.
-
-Keep in mind its up to you to actually run zfs-autobackup often enough: If you want to keep hourly snapshots, you have to make sure you at least run it every hour.
-
-However, its no problem if you run it more or less often than that: The thinner will still keep an optimal set of snapshots to match your schedule as good as possible.
-
-If you want to keep as few snapshots as possible, just specify 0. (`--keep-source=0` for example)
-
-If you want to keep ALL the snapshots, just specify a very high number.
-
-### More details about the Thinner
-
-We will give a practical example of how the thinner operates.
-
-Say we want have 3 thinner rules:
-
-* We want to keep daily snapshots for 7 days.
-* We want to keep weekly snapshots for 4 weeks.
-* We want to keep monthly snapshots for 12 months.
-
-So far we have taken 4 snapshots at random moments:
-
-![thinner example](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/psy0rz/zfs_autobackup/master/doc/thinner.png)
-
-For every rule, the thinner will divide the timeline in blocks and assign each snapshot to a block.
-
-A block can only be assigned one snapshot: If multiple snapshots fall into the same block, it only assigns it to the oldest that we want to keep.
-
-The colors show to which block a snapshot belongs:
-
-* Snapshot 1: This snapshot belongs to daily block 1, weekly block 0 and monthly block 0. However the daily block is too old.
-* Snapshot 2: Since weekly block 0 and monthly block 0 already have a snapshot, it only belongs to daily block 4.
-* Snapshot 3: This snapshot belongs to daily block 8 and weekly block 1.
-* Snapshot 4: Since daily block 8 already has a snapshot, this one doesn't belong to anything and can be deleted right away. (it will be keeped for now since its the last snapshot)
-
-zfs-autobackup will re-evaluate this on every run: As soon as a snapshot doesn't belong to any block anymore it will be destroyed.
-
-Snapshots on the source that still have to be send to the target wont be destroyed off course. (If the target still wants them, according to the target schedule)
-
-## 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
-
-## Tips
-
-* Use ```--debug``` if something goes wrong and you want to see the commands that are executed. This will also stop at the first error.
-* You can split up the snapshotting and sending tasks by creating two cronjobs. Create a separate snapshotter-cronjob by just omitting target-path.
-* Set the ```readonly``` property of the target filesystem to ```on```. This prevents changes on the target side. (Normally, if there are changes the next backup will fail and will require a zfs rollback.) Note that readonly means you cant change the CONTENTS of the dataset directly. Its still possible to receive new datasets and manipulate properties etc.
-* Use ```--clear-refreservation``` to save space on your backup server.
-* Use ```--clear-mountpoint``` to prevent the target server from mounting the backupped filesystem in the wrong place during a reboot.
-
-### 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.
-
-#### Speeding up SSH
-
-You can make your ssh connections persistent and greatly speed up zfs-autobackup:
-
-On the backup-server add this to your ~/.ssh/config:
-
-```console
-Host *
-    ControlPath ~/.ssh/control-master-%r@%h:%p
-    ControlMaster auto
-    ControlPersist 3600
-```
-
-Thanks @mariusvw :)
-
-### Specifying ssh port or options
-
-The correct way to do this is by creating ~/.ssh/config:
-
-```console
-Host smartos04
-    Hostname 1.2.3.4
-    Port 1234
-    user root
-    Compression yes
-```
-
-This way you can just specify "smartos04" as host.
-
-Also uses compression on slow links.
-
-Look in man ssh_config for many more options.
-

-## Troubleshooting
-
-### It keeps asking for my SSH password
-
-You forgot to setup automatic login via SSH keys, look in the example how to do this.
-
-### It says 'cannot receive incremental stream: invalid backup stream'
-
-This usually means you've created a new snapshot on the target side during a backup. If you restart zfs-autobackup, it will automaticly abort the invalid partially received snapshot and start over.
-
-### It says 'cannot receive incremental stream: destination has been modified since most recent snapshot'
-
-This means files have been modified on the target side somehow. 
-
-You can use --rollback to automaticly rollback such changes. Also try destroying the target dataset and using --clear-mountpoint on the next run. This way it wont get mounted.
-
-### It says 'internal error: Invalid argument'
-
-In some cases (Linux -> FreeBSD) this means certain properties are not fully supported on the target system.
-
-Try using something like: --filter-properties xattr or --ignore-transfer-errors. 
-
-### zfs receive fails, but snapshot seems to be received successful.
-
-This happens if you transfer between different Operating systems/zfs versions or feature sets.
-
-Try using the --ignore-transfer-errors option. This will ignore the error. It will still check if the snapshot is actually received correctly.
-
-## Restore example
-
-Restoring can be done with simple zfs commands. For example, use this to restore a specific SmartOS disk image to a temporary restore location:
-
-```console
-root@fs1:/home/psy#  zfs send fs1/zones/backup/zfsbackups/smartos01.server.com/zones/a3abd6c8-24c6-4125-9e35-192e2eca5908-disk0@smartos01_fs1-20160110000003 | ssh root@2.2.2.2 "zfs recv zones/restore"
-```
-
-After that you can rename the disk image from the temporary location to the location of a new SmartOS machine you've created.
-
-## Monitoring with Zabbix-jobs
-
-You can monitor backups by using my zabbix-jobs script. (<https://github.com/psy0rz/stuff/tree/master/zabbix-jobs>)
-
-Put this command directly after the zfs_backup command in your cronjob:
-
-```console
-zabbix-job-status backup_smartos01_fs1 daily $?
-```
-
-This will update the zabbix server with the exit code and will also alert you if the job didn't run for more than 2 days.
-
-## 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 pve1, pve2 and pve3.
-
-### Preparing the proxmox nodes
-
-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.
-
-TIP: make sure your backup server is firewalled and cannot be reached from any production machine.
-
-### SSH config on backup server
-
-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
-```
-
-### Backup script
-
-I use the following backup script on the backup server.
-
-Adjust the variables HOSTS TARGET and NAME to your needs.
-
-```shell
-#!/bin/bash
-
-HOSTS="pve1 pve2 pve3"
-TARGET=rpool/pvebackups
-NAME=prox
-
-zfs create -p $TARGET/data &>/dev/null
-for HOST in $HOSTS; do
-
-  echo "################################### RPOOL $HOST"
-
-  # enable backup
-  ssh $HOST "zfs set autobackup:rpool_$NAME=child rpool/ROOT"
-
-  #backup rpool to specific directory per host
-  zfs create -p $TARGET/rpools/$HOST &>/dev/null
-  zfs-autobackup --keep-source=1d1w,1w1m --ssh-source $HOST rpool_$NAME $TARGET/rpools/$HOST --clear-mountpoint --clear-refreservation --ignore-transfer-errors --strip-path 2 --verbose   --no-holds   $@
-
-  zabbix-job-status backup_$HOST""_rpool_$NAME daily $? >/dev/null 2>/dev/null
-
-
-  echo "################################### DATA $HOST"
-
-  # enable backup
-  ssh $HOST "zfs set autobackup:data_$NAME=child rpool/data"
