Talking of using zfs send/recieve for backups and archives: the
Solaris 10U4 zfs manpage contains some blood-curdling warnings about
there being no cross-version compatability promises for the output
of 'zfs send'. Can this be ignored in practice, or is it a real issue?
(Speaking as a sysadmin, I certainly hope that it is a misplaced
warning. Even ignoring backups and archives, imagine the fun if you
cannot use 'zfs send | zfs receive' to move a ZFS filesystem from an
old but reliable server running a stable old Solaris to your new, just
installed server running the latest version of Solaris.)
