Ok, I think I understand. You're going to be told that ZFS send isn't a backup (and for these purposes I definately agree), but if we ignore that this sounds like you're talking about restoring a snapshot from an external media, and then running a clone off that.
Clone's are already supported, but restoring a deleted snapshot isn't. Can anybody comment on whether that would even be possible? It's an intriguing idea if so. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
