I haven't tried this yet, but thank you very much! Other people have pointed out bacula is able to handle multiple tapes, and individual file restores. However, the disadvantage of bacula/tar/cpio/rsync etc is that they all have to walk the entire filesystem searching for things that have changed. The advantage of "zfs send" (assuming incremental backups) is that it already knows what's changed, and it can generate a continuous datastream almost instantly. Something like 1-2 orders of magnitude faster per incremental backup. _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
