That is unfortunate. The requirement stems from the need to perform an incremental backup to cloud storage (backblaze).
Many of my files are large and sparse (VMs). Unfortunately the only software that I have found to perform the backups runs on BSD or Linux hence the use for NFS. Running the utility over NFS without sparse support is not ideal. If anyone has any recommendations for an incremental cloud storage solution that is compatible with OmniOS it would be greatly appreciated. I realize that ZFS send works quite well but haven't found an off site provider who I consider to be cost effective.
