GS> What are yours ideas? 1. send 'zfs send' strem to tape as you wrote but use keep snapshots on file systems so when only one file is needed you use snapshots not backup and when you've got storage failure you probably need to restore entire file system anyway 2. I don't know how much space we're talking on those small sites but perhaps adding small server with several large sata drives and zfs send| zfs restore would be good solution and much better than doing backup to tapes? -- Best regards, Robert mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://milek.blogspot.com _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
