Look in the list for N=curreNt, R=Reboot. Normally you find one with NR that is current and the one for next reboot.

If you create a napp-it replication job, it automatically shows only the current BE as filesystem source together with all other regular filesystems.

This can be done continously via incremental send for ongoing backups.
If the system disk fails (or you want to replace), add a new disk,
install a default OS, import the datapool and restore the BE
What exactly are the commands for this?

via zfs

Use napp-it menu Jobs > Replicate > create then start the job. On first run it replicates the whole filesystem, on next run only modified datablock (incremental zfs send)

On console, create a snapshot of the current BE filesystem and use it for a zfs send Look at https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E36784_01/html/E36835/gbinw.html or other basic ZFS manuals

send.
What would a command for this look like?

Could folks kindly be more specific and detailed in their replies, please?
A lot of these are just really generic and I'm not really sure how to
proceed based on them.

Then activate this BE and reboot to have the exact former OS

After you restored the BE filesystem via another replication job or zfs send on the new installation use napp-it menu Snaps > Bootenvironment or "beadm activate bename" to set a BE active for next reboot. In beadm list you show the current marked with N and the activated one marked with R (will become current after a Reboot).

installation restored.
