Harry,
for enterprises or small businesses I would recommend some "supported"
solutions such as Nexenta Delorean:

robocopy and rsync transports, backup browser, snapshots, ACLs, VCS,
etc, etc..

Any of you out there that use your opensol and zfs as backup nas for
windows machines?
I wonder what is a sound plan... it appears with a few experiments
that it may be easier to get error free backups by running the backup
itself from windows. Perhaps less problems with NTFS style
permissions colliding with unix style.?
I've tried both rsync and rdiff-backup in both directions (Using
cygwin when action is commenced from windows side.
Oh, and in my experiments... rdiff-backup appears to have some huge
time overhead compared to rsync alone.
I've also experimented with a windows client called Retrospect that
appears to work well on the connections and such but has trouble on
the windows side... where logs show lots of sharing
violations. (even though my version has the `openfile backup' function
enabled. -- but this is not apparently related to any problems on the
zfs end)
Anyone here that can offer their experiences toward the end of the least
trouble ridden method when dealing with Windows OS.
