Yes, I am glad that I learned this lesson now, rather than in 6 months when I 
have re-purposed the exiting drives...makes me all the more committed to 
maintaining an up to date remote backup.

The reality is that I can not afford to mirror the 8TB in the zpool, so I'll 
balance the risk and just backup the important items like music, document and 
photo's.

ISO's and DVD's I can always recreate.

Thanks guys for the support. I'll do alot more reading on ZFS/datasets etc. 
befor I mess with the server again!...hmmm, actually, I just had a thought, I 
will also create a playpool when I can try out things before using them on the 
main pool.
