Thanks. I think you and Andreas have convinced me to just go with the
latest OmniOS LTS.

To display features, you must import on a newer Illumos. Unless you do a
pool upgrade, you can still import on a former version.
If you create a pool you have always the option v28/5 that is compatible
with any OS, even Solaris or v5000 without features enabled or 5000 with
all new features.
OmniOS and OI Hipster text edition are quite identical (beside LX zones
and Bhyve on OmniOS). OmniOS LTS is a freeze of current state with only
bug and security fixes for next two years while OI is a snapshot of
current Illumos. A pkg update gives you then the very newest Illumos.

This, sadly, does not mention the ZFS/Zpool version numbers.
Your ZFS version must be v5000 with features
OK, thanks.
You can request feature state with 'zpool get all backup'
Because I can't import the pool ("unsupported version or feature"),
this gives me, "cannot open 'backup': no such pool". That's the
catch-22 I keep running into.
I would use a current Illumos distribution from may 2019, either
OmniOS long term stable 151030 or OpenIndiana Hipster 2019.05 in the
GUI or text edition. They can both import your pool and give many new
pool features and options (faster, stable, more secure)
The new Hipster barely runs with the GUI desktop on this old hardware.
:-( That's why I am thinking OmniOS or one of the other distributions.
Installing all of Hipster and then disabling half of it (the GUI
desktop) seems silly, and like extra work.
You won't get a GUI on Hipster if you install from the text install
media. In fact you need to run "pkg install mate_install && pkg
uninstall mate_install" if you want the GUI after installing Hipster
from the text install media. Nevertheless seems OmniOSce the better
choice for you if you only run a server and don't need anything that
OpenIndiana has to offer.

You can manage both from console or my napp-it appliance add-on for
easy web management.
I looked at napp-it ages ago. It's a good tool, but if all I need is
rsync and SSH... What little I would need to do is easy enough from an
SSH terminal session. (Part of why I'm not bothered of losing the
desktop--the server runs headless anyway).

I've just rebuilt my backup server using the same DVD I used to
build it originally. (One of the rpool disks died, so I replaced
both disks in the rpool mirror.) After I did the install, I ran a
full upgrade. /etc/release says:
OpenIndiana Development oi_151.1.9 X86 (powered by
illumos)

Trying to import the backup zpool, though, it is telling me:
cannot import 'backup': unsupported version or feature
I don't know how the existing zpool is more current, as until now,
the system hadn't been updated in quite some time.
Is there a way I can find out the ZFS version of the backup pool,
and what version the OS is running? Also, if I replace OpenIndiana
with a current version of, say, OmniOS, will the ZFS version be
likely to access this zpool? I really don't need a GUI on my backup
server, as it only needs to accept rsync runs from my NAS, and allow
me to SSH in for administration. Or would I be better off running a
different OpenSolaris-based OS? I really haven't kept up with all of
the various options out there.
Thanks in advance,
Rainer
