Just to add some notes. I saw this posting and thought that we were backing up 
zfs filesystems on Solaris 10. I took a look around and tested some restores 
and things seemed to be working ok:

What kind of issue are you seeing?
Thanks,

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.
