Hello Mark, Darren,

Thank you guys for suggesting "zpool history", upon which we stumbled before
receiving your comments. Nonetheless, the history results are posted above.

Still no luck trying to dig out the dataset data, so far.

As I get it, there are no (recent) backups which is a poor practice, I know.
However, considering the sheer volume of a single Thumper (which they also 
have), they'd need a not-so-small tape library to make a level-0 backup of one 
server.

People kinda hoped the promise of Solaris being so Enterprise and friendly to
users in cases anyhow related to data loss; they didn't expect a systems utility
to make such destructive actions without even asking. Without even a flag to
force it into asking.

Besides, they expected (wrongly it seems) ZFS to be loss-resilient as touted on
forums and blogs, and relied on snapshots to retrieve mis-deleted files, etc.

Mixed technical expertise buffooned by marketing yells led to poor decisions ;(

//Jim
