No ZFS snapshots integration, right?

Kopia allows you to run scripts before and after a backup. It also allows you to redirect the base from where to read the files.

They Document it for the likes of FreeBSD, for Linux one would skip the mount step and just set the snapshot path to the magic .zfs directory.

Why wouldn't you use the magic .zfs directory on FreeBSD as well? Are the instructions assuming an older version?

I read the docs, but wasn’t really sure that sets it apart from Duplicacy or Restic?

When I looked at the CDC-based incremental backup space, Kopia seemed like a better Restic and the best of the bunch. At least as far as correctness and reliability goes.

Curious to know what makes this better than Restic.

Personally, I've had some issues with Kopia.

I found their explanation here:

https://github.com/kopia/kopia/issues/1764

https://github.com/kopia/kopia/issues/544

Still not solved after many years :(

Now I use Borg + Restic and I am happy

+ GUI for Restic https://github.com/garethgeorge/backrest

+ GUI for Borg https://github.com/borgbase/vorta
