Use proper names (i.e. zfs-allow and zpool-add) in NAME subsections of zfs/zpool subcommands instead of current "pretty-printed" ones as makewhatis utilities (or some implementations of it, namely the one from mandoc suite used in FreeBSD) look not only at the document title but also in NAME subsection, adding zfs(8)/zpool(8) to search results which is not correct. (Common sense and other utilities splitting subcommands in multiple man pages, e.g. git, do the same.)

|
.Ar snapshot
|
|
.Xc
|
|
Creates a stream representation of the second
|
|
.Ar snapshot ,
|
|
which is written to standard output.
|
|
The output can be redirected to a file or to a different system
|
|
.Po for example, using
|
|
.Xr ssh 1
|
|
.Pc .
|
|
By default, a full stream is generated.
|
|
.Bl -tag -width "-D"
|
|
.It Fl D, -dedup
|
|
Deduplicated send is no longer supported.
|
|
This flag is accepted for backwards compatibility, but a regular,
|
|
non-deduplicated stream will be generated.
|
|
.It Fl I Ar snapshot
|
|
Generate a stream package that sends all intermediary snapshots from the first
|
|
snapshot to the second snapshot.
|
|
For example,
|
|
.Fl I Em @a Em fs@d
|
|
is similar to
|
|
.Fl i Em @a Em fs@b Ns \&; Fl i Em @b Em fs@c Ns \&; Fl i Em @c Em fs@d .
|
|
The incremental source may be specified as with the
|
|
.Fl i
|
|
option.
|
|
.It Fl L, -large-block
|
|
Generate a stream which may contain blocks larger than 128KB.
|
|
This flag has no effect if the
|
|
.Sy large_blocks
|
|
pool feature is disabled, or if the
|
|
.Sy recordsize
|
|
property of this filesystem has never been set above 128KB.
|
|
The receiving system must have the
|
|
.Sy large_blocks
|
|
pool feature enabled as well.
|
|
See
|
|
.Xr zpool-features 5
|
|
for details on ZFS feature flags and the
|
|
.Sy large_blocks
|
|
feature.
|
|
.It Fl P, -parsable
|
|
Print machine-parsable verbose information about the stream package generated.
|
|
.It Fl R, -replicate
|
|
Generate a replication stream package, which will replicate the specified
|
|
file system, and all descendent file systems, up to the named snapshot.
|
|
When received, all properties, snapshots, descendent file systems, and clones
|
|
are preserved.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the
|
|
.Fl i
|
|
or
|
|
.Fl I
|
|
flags are used in conjunction with the
|
|
.Fl R
|
|
flag, an incremental replication stream is generated.
|
|
The current values of properties, and current snapshot and file system names are
|
|
set when the stream is received.
|
|
If the
|
|
.Fl F
|
|
flag is specified when this stream is received, snapshots and file systems that
|
|
do not exist on the sending side are destroyed. If the
|
|
.Fl R
|
|
flag is used to send encrypted datasets, then
|
|
.Fl w
|
|
must also be specified.
|
|
.It Fl e, -embed
|
|
Generate a more compact stream by using
|
|
.Sy WRITE_EMBEDDED
|
|
records for blocks which are stored more compactly on disk by the
|
|
.Sy embedded_data
|
|
pool feature.
|
|
This flag has no effect if the
|
|
.Sy embedded_data
|
|
feature is disabled.
|
|
The receiving system must have the
|
|
.Sy embedded_data
|
|
feature enabled.
|
|
If the
|
|
.Sy lz4_compress
|
|
feature is active on the sending system, then the receiving system must have
|
|
that feature enabled as well. Datasets that are sent with this flag may not be
|
|
received as an encrypted dataset, since encrypted datasets cannot use the
|
|
.Sy embedded_data
|
|
feature.
|
|
See
|
|
.Xr zpool-features 5
|
|
for details on ZFS feature flags and the
|
|
.Sy embedded_data
|
|
feature.
|
|
.It Fl b, -backup
|
|
Sends only received property values whether or not they are overridden by local
|
|
settings, but only if the dataset has ever been received. Use this option when
|
|
you want
|
|
.Nm zfs Cm receive
|
|
to restore received properties backed up on the sent dataset and to avoid
|
|
sending local settings that may have nothing to do with the source dataset,
|
|
but only with how the data is backed up.
|
|
.It Fl c, -compressed
|
|
Generate a more compact stream by using compressed WRITE records for blocks
|
|
which are compressed on disk and in memory
|
|
.Po see the
|
|
.Sy compression
|
|
property for details
|
|
.Pc .
|
|
If the
|
|
.Sy lz4_compress
|
|
feature is active on the sending system, then the receiving system must have
|
|
that feature enabled as well.
|
|
If the
|
|
.Sy large_blocks
|
|
feature is enabled on the sending system but the
|
|
.Fl L
|
|
option is not supplied in conjunction with
|
|
.Fl c ,
|
|
then the data will be decompressed before sending so it can be split into
|
|
smaller block sizes.
|
|
.It Fl w, -raw
|
|
For encrypted datasets, send data exactly as it exists on disk. This allows
|
|
backups to be taken even if encryption keys are not currently loaded. The
|
|
backup may then be received on an untrusted machine since that machine will
|
|
not have the encryption keys to read the protected data or alter it without
|
|
being detected. Upon being received, the dataset will have the same encryption
|
|
keys as it did on the send side, although the
|
|
.Sy keylocation
|
|
property will be defaulted to
|
|
.Sy prompt
|
|
if not otherwise provided. For unencrypted datasets, this flag will be
|
|
equivalent to
|
|
.Fl Lec .
|
|
Note that if you do not use this flag for sending encrypted datasets, data will
|
|
be sent unencrypted and may be re-encrypted with a different encryption key on
|
|
the receiving system, which will disable the ability to do a raw send to that
|
|
system for incrementals.
|
|
.It Fl h, -holds
|
|
Generate a stream package that includes any snapshot holds (created with the
|
|
.Sy zfs hold
|
|
command), and indicating to
|
|
.Sy zfs receive
|
|
that the holds be applied to the dataset on the receiving system.
|
|
.It Fl i Ar snapshot
|
|
Generate an incremental stream from the first
|
|
.Ar snapshot
|
|
.Pq the incremental source
|
|
to the second
|
|
.Ar snapshot
|
|
.Pq the incremental target .
|
|
The incremental source can be specified as the last component of the snapshot
|
|
name
|
|
.Po the
|
|
.Sy @
|
|
character and following
|
|
.Pc
|
|
and it is assumed to be from the same file system as the incremental target.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the destination is a clone, the source may be the origin snapshot, which must
|
|
be fully specified
|
|
.Po for example,
|
|
.Em pool/fs@origin ,
|
|
not just
|
|
.Em @origin
|
|
.Pc .
|
|
.It Fl n, -dryrun
|
|
Do a dry-run
|
|
.Pq Qq No-op
|
|
send.
|
|
Do not generate any actual send data.
|
|
This is useful in conjunction with the
|
|
.Fl v
|
|
or
|
|
.Fl P
|
|
flags to determine what data will be sent.
|
|
In this case, the verbose output will be written to standard output
|
|
.Po contrast with a non-dry-run, where the stream is written to standard output
|
|
and the verbose output goes to standard error
|
|
.Pc .
|
|
.It Fl p, -props
|
|
Include the dataset's properties in the stream.
|
|
This flag is implicit when
|
|
.Fl R
|
|
is specified.
|
|
The receiving system must also support this feature. Sends of encrypted datasets
|
|
must use
|
|
.Fl w
|
|
when using this flag.
|
|
.It Fl v, -verbose
|
|
Print verbose information about the stream package generated.
|
|
This information includes a per-second report of how much data has been sent.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The format of the stream is committed.
|
|
You will be able to receive your streams on future versions of ZFS.

Generate a redacted send stream.
|
|
This send stream contains all blocks from the snapshot being sent that aren't
|
|
included in the redaction list contained in the bookmark specified by the
|
|
.Fl -redact
|
|
(or
|
|
.Fl -d
|
|
) flag.
|
|
The resulting send stream is said to be redacted with respect to the snapshots
|
|
the bookmark specified by the
|
|
.Fl -redact No flag was created with.
|
|
The bookmark must have been created by running
|
|
.Sy zfs redact
|
|
on the snapshot being sent.
|
|
.sp
|
|
This feature can be used to allow clones of a filesystem to be made available on
|
|
a remote system, in the case where their parent need not (or needs to not) be
|
|
usable.
|
|
For example, if a filesystem contains sensitive data, and it has clones where
|
|
that sensitive data has been secured or replaced with dummy data, redacted sends
|
|
can be used to replicate the secured data without replicating the original
|
|
sensitive data, while still sharing all possible blocks.
|
|
A snapshot that has been redacted with respect to a set of snapshots will
|
|
contain all blocks referenced by at least one snapshot in the set, but will
|
|
contain none of the blocks referenced by none of the snapshots in the set.
|
|
In other words, if all snapshots in the set have modified a given block in the
|
|
parent, that block will not be sent; but if one or more snapshots have not
|
|
modified a block in the parent, they will still reference the parent's block, so
|
|
that block will be sent.
|
|
Note that only user data will be redacted.
|
|
.sp
|
|
When the redacted send stream is received, we will generate a redacted
|
|
snapshot.
|
|
Due to the nature of redaction, a redacted dataset can only be used in the
|
|
following ways:
|
|
.sp
|
|
1. To receive, as a clone, an incremental send from the original snapshot to one
|
|
of the snapshots it was redacted with respect to.
|
|
In this case, the stream will produce a valid dataset when received because all
|
|
blocks that were redacted in the parent are guaranteed to be present in the
|
|
child's send stream.
|
|
This use case will produce a normal snapshot, which can be used just like other
|
|
snapshots.
|
|
.sp
|
|
2. To receive an incremental send from the original snapshot to something
|
|
redacted with respect to a subset of the set of snapshots the initial snapshot
|
|
was redacted with respect to.
|
|
In this case, each block that was redacted in the original is still redacted
|
|
(redacting with respect to additional snapshots causes less data to be redacted
|
|
(because the snapshots define what is permitted, and everything else is
|
|
redacted)).
|
|
This use case will produce a new redacted snapshot.
|
|
.sp
|
|
3. To receive an incremental send from a redaction bookmark of the original
|
|
snapshot that was created when redacting with respect to a subset of the set of
|
|
snapshots the initial snapshot was created with respect to
|
|
anything else.
|
|
A send stream from such a redaction bookmark will contain all of the blocks
|
|
necessary to fill in any redacted data, should it be needed, because the sending
|
|
system is aware of what blocks were originally redacted.
|
|
This will either produce a normal snapshot or a redacted one, depending on
|
|
whether the new send stream is redacted.
|
|
.sp
|
|
4. To receive an incremental send from a redacted version of the initial
|
|
snapshot that is redacted with respect to a subject of the set of snapshots the
|
|
initial snapshot was created with respect to.
|
|
A send stream from a compatible redacted dataset will contain all of the blocks
|
|
necessary to fill in any redacted data.
|
|
This will either produce a normal snapshot or a redacted one, depending on
|
|
whether the new send stream is redacted.
|
|
.sp
|
|
5. To receive a full send as a clone of the redacted snapshot.
|
|
Since the stream is a full send, it definitionally contains all the data needed
|
|
to create a new dataset.
|
|
This use case will either produce a normal snapshot or a redacted one, depending
|
|
on whether the full send stream was redacted.
|
|
.sp
|
|
These restrictions are detected and enforced by \fBzfs receive\fR; a
|
|
redacted send stream will contain the list of snapshots that the stream is
|
|
redacted with respect to.
|
|
These are stored with the redacted snapshot, and are used to detect and
|
|
correctly handle the cases above. Note that for technical reasons, raw sends
|
|
and redacted sends cannot be combined at this time.

This flag requires that the specified filesystem previously received a resumable
|
|
send that did not finish and was interrupted. In such scenarios this flag
|
|
enables the user to send this partially received state. Using this flag will
|
|
always use the last fully received snapshot as the incremental source if it
|
|
exists.

Generate a new redaction bookmark.
|
|
In addition to the typical bookmark information, a redaction bookmark contains
|
|
the list of redacted blocks and the list of redaction snapshots specified.
|
|
The redacted blocks are blocks in the snapshot which are not referenced by any
|
|
of the redaction snapshots.
|
|
These blocks are found by iterating over the metadata in each redaction snapshot
|
|
to determine what has been changed since the target snapshot.
|
|
Redaction is designed to support redacted zfs sends; see the entry for
|
|
.Sy zfs send
|
|
for more information on the purpose of this operation.
|
|
If a redact operation fails partway through (due to an error or a system
|
|
failure), the redaction can be resumed by rerunning the same command.

ZFS has support for a limited version of data subsetting, in the form of
|
|
redaction. Using the
|
|
.Sy zfs redact
|
|
command, a
|
|
.Sy redaction bookmark
|
|
can be created that stores a list of blocks containing sensitive information. When
|
|
provided to
|
|
.Sy zfs
|
|
.Sy send ,
|
|
this causes a
|
|
.Sy redacted send
|
|
to occur. Redacted sends omit the blocks containing sensitive information,
|
|
replacing them with REDACT records. When these send streams are received, a
|
|
.Sy redacted dataset
|
|
is created. A redacted dataset cannot be mounted by default, since it is
|
|
incomplete. It can be used to receive other send streams. In this way datasets
|
|
can be used for data backup and replication, with all the benefits that zfs send
|
|
and receive have to offer, while protecting sensitive information from being
|
|
stored on less-trusted machines or services.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
For the purposes of redaction, there are two steps to the process. A redact
|
|
step, and a send/receive step. First, a redaction bookmark is created. This is
|
|
done by providing the
|
|
.Sy zfs redact
|
|
command with a parent snapshot, a bookmark to be created, and a number of
|
|
redaction snapshots. These redaction snapshots must be descendants of the
|
|
parent snapshot, and they should modify data that is considered sensitive in
|
|
some way. Any blocks of data modified by all of the redaction snapshots will
|
|
be listed in the redaction bookmark, because it represents the truly sensitive
|
|
information. When it comes to the send step, the send process will not send
|
|
the blocks listed in the redaction bookmark, instead replacing them with
|
|
REDACT records. When received on the target system, this will create a
|
|
redacted dataset, missing the data that corresponds to the blocks in the
|
|
redaction bookmark on the sending system. The incremental send streams from
|
|
the original parent to the redaction snapshots can then also be received on
|
|
the target system, and this will produce a complete snapshot that can be used
|
|
normally. Incrementals from one snapshot on the parent filesystem and another
|
|
can also be done by sending from the redaction bookmark, rather than the
|
|
snapshots themselves.
|
|

|
|
In order to make the purpose of the feature more clear, an example is
|
|
provided. Consider a zfs filesystem containing four files. These files
|
|
represent information for an online shopping service. One file contains a list
|
|
of usernames and passwords, another contains purchase histories, a third
|
|
contains click tracking data, and a fourth contains user preferences. The
|
|
owner of this data wants to make it available for their development teams to
|
|
test against, and their market research teams to do analysis on. The
|
|
development teams need information about user preferences and the click
|
|
tracking data, while the market research teams need information about purchase
|
|
histories and user preferences. Neither needs access to the usernames and
|
|
passwords. However, because all of this data is stored in one ZFS filesystem,
|
|
it must all be sent and received together. In addition, the owner of the data
|
|
wants to take advantage of features like compression, checksumming, and
|
|
snapshots, so they do want to continue to use ZFS to store and transmit their
|
|
data. Redaction can help them do so. First, they would make two clones of a
|
|
snapshot of the data on the source. In one clone, they create the setup they
|
|
want their market research team to see; they delete the usernames and
|
|
passwords file, and overwrite the click tracking data with dummy
|
|
information. In another, they create the setup they want the development teams
|
|
to see, by replacing the passwords with fake information and replacing the
|
|
purchase histories with randomly generated ones. They would then create a
|
|
redaction bookmark on the parent snapshot, using snapshots on the two clones
|
|
as redaction snapshots. The parent can then be sent, redacted, to the target
|
|
server where the research and development teams have access. Finally,
|
|
incremental sends from the parent snapshot to each of the clones can be send
|
|
to and received on the target server; these snapshots are identical to the
|
|
ones on the source, and are ready to be used, while the parent snapshot on the
|
|
target contains none of the username and password data present on the source,
|
|
because it was removed by the redacted send operation.
