Hmm, I'm not that sure; for the time being, snapshots will be kept and
doubled w/ other BPC servers for daily "snapshots" of only work
directories.
Time will say if ZFS snapshots are mandatory or completely replace by
daily BPC.
The current architecture being a 3-2-1 w/ redondant level 2.

I guess you mean for total reconstruction (?)
At this time I did not found any significant gain of time between image
(which, BTW, takes a lot of time/bandwidth/disk space  to achieve) and
a BPC reconstruction done from a minimal OS installation.
Not to mention that in a release last months of life, it is sometimes
important to use backports to avoid a hard transition with the
next release (hence, forcing to multiply images.)
