eSATA should work. USB3 is not supported by SmartOS (last time I checked). I would *LOVE* to see USB3 support (and UASP for that matter) in SmartOS. Maybe someone in the know could comment on this. > * Backup to a NAS on the network. Most likely you will want to use „zfs send/recv“ to back up snapshots incrementally from your zones pool. This will NOT work with a NAS unless that NAS happens to be ZFS-based (e.g. FreeNAS). Even then you should check for zpool versions and feature-flags and make sure the the NAS fully understands the zfs send stream. I would also actually test a restore from the NAS to SmartOS to make sure everything is really restored properly. I am always a little concerned about doing ZFS backups between different platforms. For example I am running OpenZFS on OSX and I am unsure if I can trust my SmartOS backups into an OSX pool. Some properties are handled differently on OSX. Does someone have experience with doing ZFS backups across different ZFS platforms?
