Gerrit, It seems you/they must already be scripting with ufsdump now. It's no more difficult to do the same with tar, GNU tar, or Schilling's "star". The latter two can do full & incremental backups with ZFS, even breaking large backups onto multiple tapes. It shouldn't be long before the "*tar" solutions will backup/restore ZFS ACL's too, but you can still backup/restore your data with these now. And as others have pointed out, if the data is small enough to fit on one tape, "zfs send [EMAIL PROTECTED] > /dev/rmt/0" will work now. You restore via "cat /dev/rmt/0 | zfs receive ...". One _does_ miss the very handy interactive (non-full) restore capabilities of "ufsrestore i".
