as usual I appreciate your precise comments/suggestions, so far that I need to ask if there is a real benefit in using zfs when thinking about installing BackupPC server. As you might have read, I'm about to install from scratch a new (Debian?!) server for BackupPC (I already have a separate RAID-1 array dedicated to the BackupPC store). Would you mind giving me your point of view for what I'm about to do?
