After looking through the archives I haven't been able to assess the 
reliability of a backup procedure which employs zfs send and recv. Currently 
I'm attempting to create a script that will allow me to write a zfs stream to a 
tape via tar like below.

                # zfs send -R p...@something | tar -c > /dev/tape

I'm primarily concerned with in the possibility of a bit flop. If this occurs 
will the stream be lost? Or will the file that that bit flop occurred in be the 
only degraded file? Lastly how does the reliability of this plan compare to 
more traditional backup tools like tar, cpio, etc...?

Thank you for any future help
Greg
