Previously:
Onsite: rsync everything from my mac mini (1 drive, 1 partition) to a raidz a few times a day.
Offsite: Every 2-4 weeks bring a hard drive home from work, allow time machine to do backups overnight, then take the drive back to work.
This was a very simple solution that took very little effort. Now I'm faced with multiple drives with multiple filesystems *probably should have planned this BEFORE!

Backup hardware plan:
3, 1TB drives pooled for onsite
1, 3TB for offsite
My current configuration:
- Code: Select all

Can I please get some input on solutions for backing up both the OS drive as well as the ZFS drives?
Thanks,
