How should I snapshot and rollback both root and home together?

[pycaw]

My goal is that I want to ensure snapshots that contain both root and home filesystems and that they are in sync.

The docs say the followings:

When the filesystems are on different snapshot schedules (or there is some delay between snapshotting one after the other), deciding which snapshots represent consistent state may not be a trivial task.

...remedied with a recursive snapshot scheme that provides uniform nomenclature for consistent snapshots across multiple filesystems

If you wish to maintain more complicated setups, you can always manually manage snapshot rollbacks or clone operations from the recovery shell that ZFSBootMenu provides.

I followed the Fedora guide, so I have zroot/ROOT/$ID at / and zroot/home at /home.

So based on this, could I achieve the workflow I imagine by,

zfs snapshot -r  zroot/ROOT/$ID@snapshot-$(date +%Y.%m.%d_%H-%M-%S)

or

SNAPSHOT_NAME="snapshot-$(date +%Y.%m.%d_%H-%M-%S)"
zfs snapshot zroot/ROOT/$ID@$SNAPSHOT_NAME
zfs snapshot zroot/home@$SNAPSHOT_NAME

and then,

SNAPSHOT_NAME=...
zfs rollback zroot/root/$ID@$SNAPSHOT_NAME
zfs rollback zroot/home@$SNAPSHOT_NAME

?

You almost never want to rollback your home directory when you rollback a boot environment. That's the primary reason for making your home directory a separate filesystem; the two are notionally independent.

In any case, ZFSBootMenu will accommodate any snapshot policy you like. We take no position on particular strategies and recommend you consult general-purpose ZFS forums for advice and discussion about best practices for snapshots.

They are independent, to a degree... Of course it makes sense to back them up together, essentially the OS. I could have different OS'es then offered by ZFSBootMenu.
