Hi Ethan,

Just trying to help narrow down where the corruption is occurring. :-)
Lemme see if I understand the setup:

1.) Production MySQL DB server operating off of LUN A sourcing the
data/zpool to MySQL.
2.) LUN B gets added from another SAN device.
3.) zpool gets imported off of LUN B.
4.) ibbackup of data on LUN A targetting LUN B.
5.) LUN B gets exported and detached.
6.) LUN B gets attached and imported on a backup server where the
ibbackup file is loaded into a MySQL instance.
7.) MySQL is shut-down and data files are then scurried off to tape on
the backup server.

Essentially, the goal is a LAN-less backup?
