NAME

zfs-bookmark — create bookmark of ZFS snapshot

SYNOPSIS

zfs bookmark [-r] snapshot|bookmark newbookmark

DESCRIPTION

Creates a new bookmark of the given snapshot or bookmark. Bookmarks mark the point in time when the snapshot was created, and can be used as the incremental source for a zfs send.

-r: Recursively create bookmarks for the given source snapshot of all descendent datasets. The source must be a snapshot, and a bookmark is created only for the descendants that have a snapshot of that name; descendants without it are skipped.

When creating a bookmark from an existing redaction bookmark, the resulting bookmark is not a redaction bookmark.

This feature must be enabled to be used. See zpool-features(7) for details on ZFS feature flags and the bookmarks feature.

EXAMPLES

Example 1: Creating a bookmark

The following example creates a bookmark to a snapshot. This bookmark can then be used instead of a snapshot in send streams.

# zfs
  bookmark
  rpool@snapshot
  rpool#bookmark
