God knows, I've just checked the docs online and they make no mention of it either: http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-5461/gbchx?a=view
This looks to me like a serious omission in the documentation. Saving a send stream to file goes contrary to all the advice I've ever seen posted on these forums. What I would say is that if you do follow this advice, find a way to save the files that allows you to checksum and test them as they are stored, with some kind of redundancy so that any errors that occur in the remote file can be fixed without risking your backups. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
