Hi tomwater! I think this is a great idea and may be the only reasonable way to backup tera bytes of data with low cost disks. And the idea is quite popular, just google *split mirror backup* and get lots of results. I also intend to use ZFS like this. - 3 way mirror - 1 disk offsite at all times (2 disks when rotating to a newer backup date) - ZFS snapshots for history - ZFS scrub to verify each backup disk just before offlining it
