Hello,
I do not know when the process of documenting the limitations of zfs
support
will be complete. I will post again when it is done.

As for your solaris admins being unable to backup the zfs file systems via
scheduled backups, please call in for support so that we can work on
collecting data to examine this further.

Thanks.
