Sorry to hijack this thread, but...

Can Solaris and/or ZFS snapshots support partial filesystem dumps (and
restores)?  If not, how do people using dump for backups support large
filesystems (that may be bigger than a tape)?  Are split dumps and
dump/restore or tar with excludes the only way in amanda right now?
