Hello all,

My understanding is that if the backing store is ZFS, a snapshot of the zvol underlying the guest's disk(s) is instant and atomic, and the snapshot is what gets backed up so fleecing is moot. Am I wrong on this?

I know nothing about Ceph other than the fact that it supports snapshots; assuming the above understanding is correct, does snapshot-based backup not work much the same way on Ceph?

Cheers,
Alex
