We all (OpenIndiana and Solaris users) are using technology created by
Sun. Why not be just helpful? There are Oracle employees here at the
list providing very helpful information - you call the names. There are
Linux and FreeBSD users here. Why kick them off? Why setting a hostile
attitude here?

traveller who's taken the same fork as you. That response doesn't want for
courtesy or respect.

Thanks for your kind answer. I am not an Oracle consumer.
I am running a home ZFS server under Solaris Express 11 because this was what
worked for me at the time I built the server, around November 15th, 2010, at a
time when, according to my experience, OpenIndiana was all but stable, and, for
any reason, I couldn't make Nexenta work for me either. Since SEx 11 worked -
and has worked reliably so far - I decided to use that for a while, in hope
OpenIndiana would become usable for my purposes. In the process I learnt
everything I know on *nix, and on Solaris in particular. Obviously this is not
much.
When I switch back to a non-commercial OS (assuming SEx 11 *is* commercial),
I'll have to make a choice between OpenIndiana and, say, FreeBSD. One of the
criteria I'll use will surely be the willingness of people to provide help to
neophytes. Back to my initial concern, I fail to see why a question on how to
best backup a ZFS server could be off-topic.
Regards.
