Go old school. Use dd to manually mirror two or more identical drives.
Apply boot blocks. Nail the boot device in Lsi or bios.

What is the recommended approach to back up a zfs root pool?
For other pools I use zfs send/receive and/or rsync-based methods.
The zfs root pool is different since it contains multiple filesystems,
with the filesystem for one one BE being mounted at a time:
% zfs list -r -t filesystem rpool

USB-3 is not supported yet. I have not heard of anyone working on it.
The day is coming where USB3 or 3.1 is going to be the standard for
motherboards, and it's going to be difficult to find a MoBo with USB2.

The electrical and protocol specification for esata is the same as sata.
E-SATA cables I think need to be shielded. The only difference is
