Zfsbackrest: Pgbackrest style encrypted backups for ZFS filesystems

levkk

Finally! Been looking for this a long time. File-based backups for large Pg databases are not very scalable (even incremental), having this in my toolkit would be amazing.

I'm not sure I follow. Wouldn't this be file-based (zfs-dataset-based) incremental backups? I don't think this has anything to do with postgresql other than copying the style of pgBackRest.

this uses `zfs send @snapshot` which is block-level, not file-level.

Oh! So the issue with large postgres backups is the number of files?
