After googling for an hour and not finding a satisfactory answer, I am posting a question that must have been answered somewhere and I am just not smart enough to find it. So here I go...
I have a Windows 10 bhyve VM on a 250GB ZVOL. The VM runs of a 1 TB SSD. I would like to make daily backups of the ZVOL on a spinning drive so that I can restore it incase the SSD goes south. The content of the Windows 10 VM changes daily. I only need to keep the last ~7 daily backups. Are snapshots and replication the way to go here? Or will the snapshots quick clobber up my SSD space? How would I restore the VM?
If someone could point me to where this has been answered or, even better, a tutorial, that would be fantastic.
Thank you.
