Is it possible to recover the rpool with only a tar/star archive of the root

problem.
What I am trying to do is recreate the rpool and underlying zfs filesystems
(rpool/ROOT, rpool/s10_uXXXXXX, rpool/dump, rpool/swap, rpool/export, and
rpool/export/home). I then mount the pool at a alternate root and restore the
tar archive. Lastly, I set the zpool bootf option to the correct zfs
filesystem and run the installgrub command. I have not had any luck so far.
You will have to recreate the filesystem hierarchy before restoring the
data. It's always a good idea to archive the output of zfs list -r
along with the data.
