Hi all,

I am running Open Solaris 2008.11 on my laptop with Open Solaris using the 
entire HD, 160GB.  I have several 3.5" HD's that I will be mirroring or 
replicating my data to prevent data loss.

I am currently backing up snapshots onto the external drive manually using the 
zfs send command:

[code]
zfs send rpool/virtualBox at WindowsXPInstalledAndUpdated | zfs receive 
LaptopClone/virtualBox
[/code]

Now, I can write a very simple script to automate copying of the latest 
snapshots to my clone drive, but is there a better way to accomplish this?

I am thinking more of creating a RaidZ pool where, whenever the device is 
attached, it automatically begins updating the out of sync drive.  And, if I 
partition the drive more, my script would not change.  I would attach the 
device to the pool and when finished copying, detach it.
