@alesc zfs destroy backup@some-date should be enough if you have only a single file system in the pool. Otherwise, consider using something like zfs destroy backup@some-date -r. Be aware that destroying snapshots is a potentially lengthy operation, even though the zfs destroy command may exit quickly. Check man zpool-features for async_destroy and consider enabling it on your pool if it isn't already enabled.

I was using backtics for inserting the date but it wasn't compatible with this site's markup (which also uses backtics for inline code). So I changed them to apostrophes and forgot to mention that. But $() looks better so I will probably use that. For now, I won't have any automated pruning strategy but will manually delete older snapshots as needed. Is zfs destroy backup@some-date enough to free the space or do I need to perform some other actions?
