Thanks Eric, however seeing as I can't have two pools named 'tank', I'll
have to name the new one something else. I believe I will be able to rename
it afterwards, but I just wanted to check first. I'd have to have to spend
hours changing the pool name in a thousand files.
What files would those be? Usually the pool name (and therefore the
dataset names) doesn't matter-- only mountpoints matter to most things
on the system, but maybe you have a more interesting use case. :)

Nothing that impressive :D I have quite a few scripts and config files
that of course access the data via the mountpoint, which in my case
refers to the pool name. It's just slightly possible I exaggerated the
number of files, but still I'd prefer not to do it at all. :)
But Cindy has just chimed in and confirmed that I can indeed just import
the pool under the old name.
So many thanks to both of you, I'll go and read up on the snapshot
options so I can get an accurate replica :)
Thanks
Matt
