o_0  So you've got 8 drives that are all completely separate?  Are the drives 
completely full?  Do you have any space at all?

When you say 2TB of empty drives, how many drives, what capacities?

It may be possible to come up with something, but you have to bear in mind that 
you'll loose some space going to raid-z, and you'll also loose some space due 
to the overhead of ZFS.

Quick question to the more experienced guys here - how much space would you end 
up with from 8 1.5TB drives in a raid-z array?  Around 8-9TB?

How much free space do you have on the backup server, could you move some data 
over there?

I'm still not entirely sure this is possible, but it may be worth a try.  Do 
you have any budget to buy one or two spare 1.5TB drives?
