Also when copies >= 2. This is very useful for e.g. laptops. I have set copies=2 for all zfs file systems (not on the whole pool) storing important personal data (/home, /usr/src), and after 3 times (!) of hard drive bad sector incidents (all replaced after recoverdisk) within 6 months, I was very lucky not to use the last resort by restoring data from my monthly DVD-R backup.
