+# This config serves as an example for a local zrepl installation that
+# backups the entire zpool `system` to `backuppool/zrepl/sink`
+#
+# The requirements covered by this setup are described in the zrepl documentation's
+# quick start section which inlines this example.
+#
+# CUSTOMIZATIONS YOU WILL LIKELY WANT TO APPLY:
+# - adjust the name of the production pool `system` in the `filesystems` filter of jobs `snapjob` and `push_to_derive`
+# - adjust the name of the backup pool `backuppool` in the `backuppool_sink` job
+# - adjust the occurences of `myhostname` to the name of the system you are backing up (cannot be easily changed once you start replicating)
+# - make sure the `zrepl_` prefix is not being used by any other zfs tools you might have installed (it likely isn't)
