## Safe defaults
zfs-autobackup has safe defaults for use as a backup tool. This means:
zfs-autobackup uses safe defaults such as:
* Preserving all the dataset properties. (which sometimes gets in the way, see [Mounting](Mounting))
* Preserving the full dataset paths.
* Only do stuff with snapshots that match our own format. (ignore the rest)
* Preserving all dataset properties. This can have its drawbacks to, for example [Mounting](Mounting))
* Preserving full dataset paths.
* Only modify snapshots that match the zfs-autobackup format.
* Not rolling back or forcing anything.
* Checking everything, and failing early and verbose.
* Dont do anything unexpected.
* Checking everything, failing early and in a verbose manner.
* Don't do anything unexpected.
Keeping this in mind can help make more sense of the options described here: Most of the options are to modify this safe default behavior.
