I have a USB disk, to which I want to do a backup. I've used send | receive. It works fine until I try to reboot. At that point the system fails to come up because the backup copy is set to be mounted at the original location so the system tries to mount two different things the same place. I guess I can have the script set mountpoint=none, but I'd think there would be a better approach.

Would a "zpool export $backup_pool" do the trick? (and consequently, you import the USB zpool before you start your backups?

cheers,
