Two Python scripts for managing ZFS snapshots. The first script creates timestamped snapshots of all filesystems in a zpool. The second script automatically removes snapshots older than 30 days by parsing the timestamp in snapshot names, useful for automated backup cleanup.

An exploration of ZFS send and receive commands for filesystem management and backup. Covers taking snapshots, outputting to files, combining with gzip compression and OpenSSL encryption for secure storage, using zfs receive to restore filesystems, and copying filesystems securely over SSH between systems.
