How do you control when snapshots are taken

[gnordli]

Hi
Right now with my home brew scripts I schedule snapshots at night for VMs and the file system datasets are taken hourly during business hours.

I replicate file system datasets during the day, but the VMs are all synced at night. Can I configure that with pyznap?

Also, can I configure the snapshot name?

Thanks,
Geoff

You can simply create a second config file for the VMs and specify the nightly snapshots + send/recv in that file. Then create another cronjob with pyznap --config=/etc/pyznap/other-config.conf snap or pyznap --config=/etc/pyznap/other-config.conf send to specify when you want to take snapshots and sync them.

The snapshot names are not configurable.

That makes sense.
Also, I see that the windows previous versions are working with the current snap names. That was my reason to change the names. #41
thanks!!
