My advice is to keep it simple - from what you describe, there isn't any
reason I can see to create more than 2 file systems.
One thing you might consider is setting up CrashPlan with your server.
It has a native solaris installation and for $5 a month, you can have all
of your data replicated offsite.
Combine that with ZFS and snapshots, you are looking pretty safe.

From 7 years of experience with zfs I absolutely recommend to
go the other way, create filesystems below /rmh/... for each
host. The simple reason is that you can easily snapshot each
host, transport it, or even promote it to be the root on a real
physical machine. And you can easily destroy a machine filesystem.
It's all much easier and faster than doing a tar, rm, rsync
or whatever. With ZFS there's no reason not to have filesystems
for everything. We usually have more than hundred on a single
96 TB fileserver, no problems, but great savings in manageability.

Now I've got oi running and becoming slightly familiar with zpool and
zfs cmds, I need some coaching as to how to employ the zfs fs.
My general aim is to backup other computers but also want to have a
few zfs fs that serve a windows 7 box and holds lots of pictures and
other graphic files while work is done on them from the windows box.
The setup I now have is all dispensable and is a practice run. I've
got the smb server working and shares are available to the win7
machine.
What I need is advice about the actual construction of the file
systems.
Example: I have an fs p2/rmh mounted at root /rmh rmh stands for
remote hosts.
So I have p2/rmh/host1 p2/rmh/host2 and etc. So what is the best way
to go... should I have the .zfs directory at each level? At /rmh
at /rmh/host1 and at /rmh/host2 maybe even p2/rmh/host2/someproj,
with its own .zfs?
