Came here to say this. Can you list your example commands for snapshotting, zfs send, restoring single files or entire snapshots, etc.? (Have you tested it out?) I am actually in the position of doing this (I use zfs on root as of recently and I have a TrueNAS) but am stuck at the bootstrapping problem (I haven't taken a single snapshot yet; presumably the first one is the only big one? and then how do I send incremental snapshots? and then how do I restore these to, say, a new machine? do I remotely mount a snapshot somehow, or zfs recv, or? Do you set up systemd/cron jobs for this?) Also, having auto-snapshotted on Ubuntu in the past, eventually things slowed to a crawl every time I did an apt update... Is this avoidable?
