New to ZFS, I made a critical error when migrating data and
configuring zpools according to needs - I stored a snapshot stream to
a file using "zfs send -R [filesystem]@[snapshot]>[stream_file]".
There are precisely two reasons why it's not recommended to store a zfs send
datastream for later use. As long as you can acknowledge and accept these
limitations, then sure, go right ahead and store it. ;-) A lot of people
do, and it's good.
Not recommended by who ? Which documentation says this ?
As I pointed out last time this came up the NDMP service on Solaris 11
Express and on the Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance uses the 'zfs send'
stream as what is to be stored on the "tape".
