ZFS snapshot management is handled automatically. Snapshot history is stored in /opt/bacula/etc/bsnapdiff.dat. Snapshots are retained until they are no longer needed. If a user manually removes any snapshots currently required by the system, a standard, non-accelerated incremental backup will be performed by scanning the file system. Once snapshot history is re-established, the plugin will resume performing incremental backups more efficiently.
