My point exactly.
Now that I figured out how to keep zfs snaphots forever, mounted and
browsable, on the backup box and garbage-collect them on the clients
too, I am very rapidly losing interest in the "tape backup" paradigm
anyway. So, like, whatever...
One problem I have with that is, from the zxfer man page,
"Note also that transferring between different operating systems and
even different versions of the same operating system (e.g. FreeBSD 8.1
and 8.2) has not been tested and will probably fail or give unexpected
results."
That could make upgrading OS on the involved boxes a potential problem
and seems to imply all client boxes/VMs must use the same OS version at
all times.
Also, how do you backup the backup box itself?
