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
