• install sanoid on backup and source host (not strictly required on both, but sanoid uses tools on both machine for fast and reliable connection) apt install sanoid

• if you don't run sanoid on one machine, ensure the following folders are created on it mkdir -p /var/cache/sanoid /var/run/sanoid

• use root accounts for ssh connections, the zfs commands need root access (tried to get it to work without and it was turtles all the way down)

• add conf files from github to /etc/sanoid/ and setup

• run backup syncoid -r --use-hold --preserve-recordsize --preserve-properties root@192.168.1.43:noggapool/music stanleypool/music

  additionally a --debug flag can be added to the above to see what's happening
