Hi,

In reading the manual for parameters such as the tar, rsync, etc. share, 
I see:

"Alternatively, rather than backup all the file systems as a single 
share ("/"), it is easier to restore a single file system if you backup 
each file system separately."

Can anyone tell me why this is easier?  Can't one select the subset of 
the backup to restore out of a whole filesystem backup anyhow?
