ZFS snapshot backup tools

This cluster consists of backup and replication tools that create, manage, and transfer ZFS snapshots to remote hosts for data protection and disaster recovery. The dated history before the index start shows sporadic entries across 2016–2026, with early ones in 2016, 2018, and 2019, then later entries in late 2025 and early 2026. Traction leaders are zrepl-d2shd2sh-bin, zfs-autobackup, and zrepl-bin, each with an activity signal of 0 stars.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 8 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.

Ranked by traction, highest first, and paged 20 at a time — this is a window on the cluster, never the whole of it. Ties are broken by a stable id so a product cannot appear on two pages or fall between them. Browse every cluster.
