Yes. The "zfs send" contents are the amount of occupied space of the filesystem at a given point in time (a snapshot). You can use "zfs send -i" to send incremental snapshots, containing only the data that differs between [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED] More info in the ZFS man pages, the (excellent) ZFS Administration guide, at http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-5461/6n7ht6qt0?a=view (you want Chapter 6) and a blog post from Matt at: http://blogs.sun.com/ahrens/entry/is_it_magic Matt has mentioned some additional features to zfs send/recv coming soon, including ways to send all incremental snapshots, send nested filesystem, and ways to preserve filesystem properties while sending. cheers, tim -- Tim Foster, Sun Microsystems Inc, Solaris Engineering Ops http://blogs.sun.com/timf _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
