While testing 2.2.5.0 I thought I’d test making image backups to ZFS datasets.
I have the following files in /etc/urbackup/
root@urbackuptest:/etc/urbackup# for i in
ls`; do echo $i; cat $i; echo “”; done
backupfolder
/backup/
dataset
backup/images
dataset_file
backup/files
`
However, the images end up in /backup/$client/180131-1728_Image_C
What am I doing wrong?

Could you post the output of urbackup_snapshot_helper test
?
If is functions correctly it should create symlinks in /backup/ to datasets in backup/images and backup/files. I guess you should be able to see the datasets with something like zfs list
.

/backup is that large because that is where the images are written.

So it doesn’t use ZFS snapshots for images… Can you check that the image snapshot method is COW - raw
, and post the debug messages during startup (urbackupsrv run -v debug
)?

I just found out that you need to set ‘Image backup file format’ to ‘Raw copy-on-write file’… You might want to add that to the documentation in case a fool like me reads it…
