ZFS snapshots and your folders
Learn how immutable ZFS snapshots complement continuous Syncthing sync for rollback, recovery, and safer file history.
Why snapshots next to Syncthing#
Syncthing keeps replicas aligned across devices. ZFS snapshots add another axis: immutable history on the server so you can recover a file or folder state without relying on every client still having an old copy.
What you get#
- Point-in-time rollback for accidental deletes or bad edits
- A path to ransomware resilience when combined with retention and off-site copies
- A simple mental model: sync is live; snapshots are frozen checkpoints
Try it in practice#
Start from the quick start, create a folder, and explore snapshot retention in the product UI when it is enabled for your plan.
