Ok so wrapping my head around this, what I think I need to be clear about is the separation between applications and data. Applications get the nightly VM snapshot way of backing up, and data will get the frequent zfs snapshots (and other backups). Kinda what I tried to do to begin with, so I will look more on how to do this separation for the applications I intend to use.
Still unsure if samba is the way to go for linking it together on the same physical machine.
Should I just run syncthing on the bare metal host…? Will sleep on it.

This is what I’m doing currently, but it’s not really feasible to have the services shut down hourly for snapshots. This is indeed why I started looking towards filesystem-level snapshotting Obviously I will have other types of backups as well, I’m simply looking to have the on-the-fly immutable snapshot capability here somehow.

Thanks! Can I ask what is your setup like? ZFS on bare metal? Do you have VMs?
- Comment on Filesystem and virtualization decisions for homeserver build 1 day ago:
Fair about the SSD life. How would you go about achieving the frequent backups without zfs? I wouldn’t want to implement it separately for every app I use, though I’m open to it if this doesn’t work out.
I’ll easily buy more memory if needed, the box now has 8GB and isn’t struggling in any way.
