That's a pretty cool idea. Then you've still got the entire zfs volume inside of a file, but you're able to mount and extract individual files if you want, and you're able to pipe your zfs send directly to zfs receive, and basically you get all the benefits of zfs send & receive, but also get all the benefits of being able to treat your backup like a file or a set of files. Pretty cool. _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
