Hi Richard, Actually, reading your reply has made me realise I was overlooking something when I talked about tar, star, etc... How do you backup a ZFS volume? That's something traditional tools can't do. Are snapshots the only way to create a backup or archive of those?
Personally I'm quite happy with snapshots - we have a ZFS system at work that's replicating all of it's data to an offsite ZFS store using snapshots. Using ZFS as a backup store is something I'm quite happy with, it's just storing just a snapshot file that makes me nervous. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
