Just to add some notes. I saw this posting and thought that we were backing up zfs filesystems on Solaris 10. I took a look around and tested some restores and things seemed to be working ok:

I will post again when it is done. As for your solaris admins being unable to backup the zfs file systems via scheduled backups, please call in for support so that we can work on collecting data to examine this further. Thanks.
