Cork To answer your question just use tar for everything. It's about the best we've got. :-( When the disk turns into a doorstop re-install OpenSolaris/Solaris and then tar back all your data. I keep a complete list of EVER change I make on any OS (including the Redmond one) so I can re-create the machine. And, IMHO - And I know I will get shot at for saying it, but.... One reason why I would not use ZFS root in a real live production environment, is not having the equivalent of ufsdump/ufsrestore so I can do a bare metal restore. ZFS root works great on my laptop, but I know lots who still rely on ufsdump to a local tape drive for quick bare metal restores. The only good news in UNIX is much more tidy then Windows and there is very little that is not in /home (or /export/home) that gets changed throughout the OSes life. Unless somebody know better....
