Are there any plans to have a tool to restore individual files from
zfs send streams - like ufsrestore?
No publicly stated plans by Sun. If you have a support contract with
Sun, I'd recommend calling them up and telling them that you wish to
be added to Bug IDs:
6807049 - zfs send stream format should be documented
http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6807049
5004379 - want comprehensive backup strategy
http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=5004379
Also, please see the thread "zfs send/receive as backup -
reliability?" that's been ongoing for the last week for the topic of
ZFS backups:
http://mail.opensolaris.org/pipermail/zfs-discuss/2010-January/thread.html#35929
Specially for recovering from unintended file removal/changes of OS
related files it would be nice to be able to restore just the file
in question, instead of restoring the entire filesystem.
As discussed in the above thread, the current solution would be to use
either snapshots and/or third-party backup software (NetWorker,
NetBackup, AMANDA, Bacula, etc.).
