Personally, I use "zfs send | zfs receive" to an external disk. Initially a full image, and later incrementals. This way, you've got the history of what previous snapshots you've received on the external disk, it's instantly available if you connect to a new computer, and you can restore either the whole FS, or a single file if you want. _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
