I have a home server that I’m using and hosting files on it. I’m worried about it breaking and loosing access to the files. So what method do you use to backup everything?

    You can access ZFS snapshots from the hidden .zfs folder at the root dir of your volume. From there you can restore individual files.

    There is also a command line tool (httm) that lists all snapshotted versions of a files and allows you to restore them.

    If the snapshot you want to restore from is on a remote machine, you can either send it over or scp/rsync the files from the .zfs directory.
