Hi. Is it possible on Solaris 10 5/09, to rollback to a ZFS snapshot, WITHOUT destroying later created clones or snapshots?
Example: --($ ~)-- sudo zfs snapshot rpool/r...@01 --($ ~)-- sudo zfs snapshot rpool/r...@02 --($ ~)-- sudo zfs clone rpool/r...@02 rpool/ROOT-02 --($ ~)-- LC_ALL=C sudo zfs rollback rpool/r...@01 cannot rollback to 'rpool/r...@01': more recent snapshots exist use '-r' to force deletion of the following snapshots: rpool/r...@02 So it isn't as simple as that. But what needs to be done, to preserve rpool/ROOT-02? Actually, I'm not concerned (that much) with preserving the clone rpool/ROOT-02. But I'd like to keep the contents of rpool/ROOT as it was when I created the @02 snapshot. Is the only possible way to create a backup of rpool/r...@02 (eg. of the snapshot directory /rpool/ROOT/.zfs/snapshots/02) and then restore it later on (eg. backup to tape, backup to someother filesystem using zfs send|recv, rsync, tar, ...)?
