ZREP overview

ZREP is a ZFS based replication and failover script from bolthole.com

Got ZFS on two systems? Want to have (almost) idiotproof replication and master/servant switching between them? Install zrep with a single download and you're almost ready to go.

Super-Quick-and-dirty quickstart

Step 1: wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bolthole/zrep/master/zrep (and make it executable of course. Plus copy it to your second host)

Step 2: zrep -i pool1/prodfs host2 destpool/prodfs

Step 3: (put in cron, every minute if you like) zrep -S pool1/prodfs

And you're done! At least with a super-simple implementation.
