Another benefit of ZFS snapshots is that they are are atomic. (Yet another is
that they are taken quickly.) So long as your app or service has its files in
a consistent state (ideally, closed), restoring from the snapshot should
produce a set of files that work correctly.
Radioactive I see
Do not eat files that glow blue. ;-)

Gave me the impetus fix see the errors of my ways
Please explain your ways and perhaps the readers will identity errors.
I have a "git" server that has all my setup/custom/building scripts and all my
programming and solidworks projects.
I assume your git(1) server has a repository and it is on a single disk with
rsync(1) backups. If the repository disk crashes, you replace it with another
disk, and you restore from backup, what happens to clients who checked out
projects after the backup? To clients that checked in changed projects after
the backup? Is recovery less work that replacing a bad disk in RAID?
You assume wrong
Please explain how your git(1) server stores content without RAID, how
clients respond to the two scenarios outlined above, and how the
recovery effort compares to RAID recovery.
I have DELPHI build apps going back to about 1995.
Do you mean:
https://www.embarcadero.com/products/delphi
Nope Borland
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Delphi_(software)
On February 8, 2006, Borland announced that it was looking for a buyer
for its IDE and database line of products, including Delphi, to
concentrate on its ALM line. Instead of selling it, Borland transferred
the development tools group to an independent, wholly owned subsidiary
company named CodeGear on November 14, 2006.
...
Borland sold CodeGear to Embarcadero Technologies in 2008. Embarcadero
retained the CodeGear division created by Borland to identify its tool
and database offerings but identified its own database tools under the
DatabaseGear name.
...
In October 2015, Embarcadero was purchased by Idera Software. Idera
continues to run the developer tools division under the Embarcadero brand.
It all backed up to a backup server(master and slave) and also a 4TB offline external
hard drive. I have not "lost" any information since.
Please elaborate "master and slave" with respect to not needing RAID.
Same as DNS
Do you mean using a distributed architecture similar to DNS for backups,
or something else? Please explain.
