I run a ZFS on root FreeBSD system. I know I can backup with snapshots

My question is: will dump / (root) make a dump of *ALL* other
directories?
Dump works at the filesystem level and will not work on a zfs filesystem
[root@banshee /backup/local/zfs]# dump -b 64 -f - ./
dump: ./: unknown file system
I'd use tar or cpio or pax or something.
On a UFS filesystem dump will only dump the filesystem specified and
will not cross mountpoints.
OK, got it. I will have to read up on the best option (tar, cpio or pax)

Why not use the ZFS send / receive command?
After reading the info on
http://www.aisecure.net/2011/03/26/cloning-a-zfs-bootable-system/ I
might be doing that. Sounds not too difficult and it is not really a
problem to have ZFS on the virtual machine. It runs good enough, at
least solaris 11 runs smoothly as a VM. Thanks for the tips.
