What is the current preferred method for backing up ZFS data pools, preferably using free ($0.00) software, and assuming that access to individual files (a la ufsbackup/ufsrestore) is required?
For home use I am making very successful use of zfs incremental send and receive. A script decides which filesystems to backup (based on a user property retrieved by zfs get) and snapshots the filesystem; it then looks for the last snapshot that the pool I'm backing up and the pool I'm backing up to have in common, and does a zfs send -i | zfs reveive over than. Backups are pretty quick since there is not huge amount of churn in the filesystems, and on my backup disks I have browsable access to snapshot of my data from every backup I have run. Gavin
