  Description     : manage zfs snapshots and syncing

Upstream description:
"""
ZFS-autobackup tries to be the most reliable and easiest to use tool, while
having all the features.

You can either use it as a backup tool, replication tool or snapshot tool.

You can select what to backup by setting a custom ZFS property. This makes it
easy to add/remove specific datasets, or just backup your whole pool.

Other settings are just specified on the commandline: Simply setup and test
your zfs-autobackup command and fix all the issues you might encounter. When
you're done you can just copy/paste your command to a cron or script.

Since it's using ZFS commands, you can see what it's actually doing by
specifying --debug. This also helps a lot if you run into some strange problem
or errors. You can just copy-paste the command that fails and play around with
it on the commandline. (something I missed in other tools)

An important feature that's missing from other tools is a reliable --test
option: This allows you to see what zfs-autobackup will do and tune your
parameters. It will do everything, except make changes to your system.
"""

This will be maintained as part of the Python team, and will be uploaded to
experimental until forky development opens up.
