Oh, one more thing. "zfs send" is only discouraged if you plan to store the data stream and do "zfs receive" at a later date. If instead, you are doing "zfs send | zfs receive" onto removable media, or another server, where the data is immediately fed through "zfs receive" then it's an entirely viable backup technique. _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
