True, we're already planning to take advantage of ZFS quotas at work. That
alone will mean 100+ filesystems as we'll have one for each user. While there
are some disadvantages to the quota management I'm used to, overall management
of ZFS quotas looks very simple, and the ability to roll back
Looking into this further, it looks like this be available in build 77, with
zfs snapshot -r a new zfs send -r feature:

Flexible is right. I knew Unix / Linux traditionally make it possible to do a
lot from the command line, but having never used them I'd just assumed they
were basically very similar to windows, but with a whole load of extra overhead
because of all the commands you had to learn.

Try b78 - it's got the new native CIFS (SMB) server. And it's integrated
with zfs, so you can create a windows-accessible share as easily as:
zfs create -o sharesmb=name=sharename poolname/zfsname
The recursive option creates a separate snapshot for every child filesystem,
making backup management more difficult if there are many child filesystems.
The ability to natively create a single snapshot/backup of an entire ZFS
hierarchy of filesystems would be a very nice thing indeed.
Aye, that's what I was hoping for. Since ZFS seems to support nesting
filesystems, I was hoping that each filesystem would contain the others, so a
snapshot of the root filesystem would also be a snapshot of the others.
I'm still not sure if that's the case or not, it could be that -r just

welcome to ZFS... here is a simple script you can start with:
#!/bin/sh
snaps=15
today=`date +%j`
nuke=`expr $today - $snaps`
yesterday=`expr $today - 1`
if [ $yesterday -lt 0 ] ; then
yesterday=365
fi
if [ $nuke -lt 0

IMHO, a file system is created only when you need to

This question doesn't really make sense. But
