Yeah, zfs snapshot sync would be the way to do it, but Hetzner Storage
Box does not support that, of course. I also don't like that it's a
root-level operation.
Borg seems like it might do the job. Of course the inital backup of
1.8Tb looks like it might take a week to sync, but then it should be
fast(er).
