Just wondering: is it an option to have an encrypted lofi in a zfs volume, as the block device for VM storage? Then it's replication of snapshots of this volume, keys not included.<br>
<br>
For files, you can always dedicate a filesystem dataset per VM (configs, disks, etc) and snapshot/replicate that, individually.
