Hi,

I want to backup a local ZFS filesystem (or parts of it) Since this is on a Sun X4500 with 34TB space, copying this to a holding disk seems not feasible. So I would disable the holding disk, make an zfs snapshot before backup, backup the snapshot and delete it. Is that the right way (tm) to do it. Are there any pitfalls?

regards, Andreas
