+## if you use rsnapshot you have to add the commands commands below
+## if you use rsnapshot-backups the tool rsnapshot-backup-conf will handle those for you
 Create a zfs dataset for a single backup:
 <code>
-zfs create <ZPOOL>/backup/hosts/<BACKUP-CLIENT> -o compression=lz4 -o snapdir=visible -o xattr=sa -o acltype=posixacl -o mountpoint=/backup/hosts/<BACKUP-CLIENT>/daily.0
+zfs create <ZPOOL>/backup/hosts/<BACKUP-CLIENT> -o compression=lz4 -o snapdir=hidden -o xattr=sa -o acltype=posixacl -o mountpoint=/backup/hosts/<BACKUP-CLIENT>/daily.0
 # e.g.
-zfs create zp-bak/backup/hosts/srv42 -o compression=lz4 -o snapdir=visible -o xattr=sa -o acltype=posixacl -o mountpoint=/backup/hosts/srv42/daily.0
+zfs create zp-bak/backup/hosts/srv42 -o compression=lz4 -o snapdir=hidden -o xattr=sa -o acltype=posixacl -o mountpoint=/backup/hosts/srv42/daily.0

   * Why is the .zfs subdir hidden ('''snapdir=hidden''')? **A:** Because rsync would traverse it and all the subsequent snapshots resulting in really bad performance.
