Hi Rickie, I’m backing SmartOS systems to a NFS NAS (containing big files used as ZFS vdev ). The plus point is that I can mount the backup pool on another server in seconds and boot the zones. On other old Solaris systems, I do cross replication of pools on big nearline SAS drives (on our main server cross replication is done to high capacity read optimized SAS SSD ). We keep backups for 2-3 months depending on pool capacity.
