Time Machine is storing all in the system by default, but you still can select some ones that you don't like to store. And Time Machine don't use ZFS. Here we will use ZFS snapshot, and what it's working with is file system. In Nevada, the default file system is not ZFS, it means some directory is not ZFS, so seems you have to select some directory which is ZFS, and it's impossible for you to store all, (some are not ZFS)... > > -Christian > > > > Calum Benson wrote: >> Hi all, >> >> We've been thinking a little about a more integrated desktop presence >> for Tim Foster's ZFS backup and snapshot services[1].
