Supported OS

FreeBSD port

zfSnap was developed on FreeBSD, therefore zfSnap works best on FreeBSD :)

http://www.freshports.org/sysutils/zfsnap/

GNU/Linux

zfSnap was reported to work on Ubuntu Server 11.10 64-Bit

OS X

zfSnap works on OS X.

See comments: https://github.com/graudeejs/zfSnap/pull/8

Solaris/OpenSolaris?

Starting with v1.10.0 zfSnap was tested to work out of the box on:

  • Solaris 11 Express
  • OpenIndiana build 148

Solaris 10

zfSnap v1.10.0 was tested to work on Solaris 10, but GNU tools (grep, sed, date, ...) must be installed and PATH environment set in such way, that GNU tools would be used instead of Solaris 10 default tools.

Also you need to patch zfSnap #!/bin/sh to #!/bin/ksh or #!/usr/local/bin/bash (or wherever bash 4 or newer is installed. Bash 3 won't work)

There are absolutely no plans to make zfSnap work with Solaris 10 native tools. These tools are way too crappy, to say the least. Modifying zfSnap to work with them, would make zfSnap even more harder to read.

OpenSolaris 2009.06

zfSnap v1.10.0 was tested to work on OpenSolaris 2009.06, but you must make sure, that PATH environment is set in such way, that GNU tools (grep, sed, date, ...) are used, instead of native tools.
