What is the best way to back up a zfs pool for recovery? Recover
entire pool or files from a pool... Would you use snapshots and
clones?
I would like to move the backup to a different disk and not use
tapes.
Personally, I use zfs send | zfs receive to an external disk. Initially a

I am considering building a modest sized storage system with zfs. Some
of the data on this is quite valuable, some small subset to be backed
up forever, and I am evaluating back-up options with that in mind.
You don't need to store the zfs send data stream on your backup media.
This would be
Thx all, I understand now.

if an application requests a synchronous write then it is commited to
ZIL immediately, once it is done the IO is acknowledged to application.
But data written to ZIL is still in memory as part of an currently open
txg and will be committed to a pool
In my previous post I was refering more to mdbox (Multi-dbox) rather than dbox,
however I beleive the meta data is store with the mail msg in version 1.x and
2.x meta is not updated within the msg which would be better for ZFS.
What I am saying is msg per file which is not updated is better for

full image, and later incrementals.
Do these incrementals go into the same filesystem that received the
original zfs stream?

NO, zfs send is not a backup.
From a backup, you could restore individual files.

I disagree.
It is a backup. It's just not an enterprise backup solution

Which consumer-priced 1.5TB drives do people currently recommend?
I had zero read/write/checksum errors so far in 2 years with my trusty old
Western Digital WD7500AAKS drives, but now I want to upgrade to a new set of
drives that are big, reliable and cheap.
As of Jan 2010 it seems the price
We're in the process of upgrading our storage servers from Seagate RE.2 500 GB
and WD 500 GB black drives to WD 1.5 TB green drives (ones with 512B
sectors). So far, no problems to report.
We've replaced 6 out of 8 drives in one raidz2 vdev so far (1 drive each
weekend). re-silver times have
Which drive model/revision number are you using?
I presume you are using the 4-platter version: WD15EADS-00R6B0, but perhaps I
am wrong.
Also did you run WDTLER.EXE on the drives first, to hasten error reporting
times?

Thanks for the tip both of you. The zdb approach seems viable.

r...@nas:~# zpool export -f raid
cannot export 'raid': pool is busy
I've disabled all the services I could think of. I don't see anything accessing
it. I also don't see any of the filesystems mounted with mount or zfs mount.
What's the deal? This is not the rpool, so I'm not booted off it or
I have a Solaris 10 update 6 system with a snapshot I can't remove.
zfs destroy -f snap reports the device as being busy. fuser doesn't
shore any process using the filesystem and it isn't shared.
I can unmount the filesystem OK.
Any clues or suggestions of bigger sticks to hit it with?

Hmm... got it working after a reboot. Odd that it had problems before that. I
was able to rename the pools and the system seems to be running well now.
Irritatingly, the settings for sharenfs, sharesmb, quota, etc. didn't get
copied over with the zfs send/recv. I didn't have that many
