How to create manual snapshot of boot pool? (For 'zfs send'ing it)

[seanm]

I have a workflow where I use 'zfs send' to backup my pool. I first go to the Pools part of the UI and create a recursive snapshot. But the boot pool isn't listed there, so how can I create a snapshot of it from the UI? Or would I have to do that from the command line?

Thanks.

Did you find a solution for this?

You can use one of the following methods to snapshot the boot pool:

• beadm(1) (Boot Environment Admin) from the command line
• System | Boot | Action | Add from the GUI
• zfs snap freenas-boot/ROOT/mydataset@mysnapshot from the command line, should work also
