Great to see more tooling in the ZFS space, especially around send/receive. I'd like to see more around snapshot management too.

Last release in 2016 though?

To add, i'm not so confident in future usability given it's python 2[0].

https://www.tarsnap.com/ Is great for stuff like this he is I think the head of FreeBSD security hopefully he will also comment on this.
Since we're sharing alternatives, I'll also link https://zfs.rent

This was on HN front page a few months ago. I haven't managed to get a drive there yet (demand outstrips supply for now) but I really hope it takes off and thrives.

Sounds like https://www.delimiter.com/slot-hosting/ which I’ve used in the past. Same cost per drive, but 4x the bandwidth included.
> demand outstrips supply for now

care to elaborate? Their business model since the last update only allows for shipping drives to them, they no longer sell drives so I do not quite get what you mean here.

That said, this is immensely cool thanks for the pointer.

My misunderstanding of their new pricing model :) I was just going off the store page which shows HDDs as out of stock.
