ZFS snapshot thing was also a huge pain with bup back in the day. I remember doing some work to add in a path graft system for it but it never got merged.

Backup tool authors never seem to support this use case.

This is why I made https://github.com/Freaky/zfsnapr

Instead of working out how to teach my backup tools about snapshots, I just mount them in a subtree and use that as a chroot env.
