True, we're already planning to take advantage of ZFS quotas at work. That alone will mean 100+ filesystems as we'll have one for each user. While there are some disadvantages to the quota management I'm used to, overall management of ZFS quotas looks very simple, and the ability to roll back things like individual user profiles is going to be very nice.
And we're planning on the same approach on the network, with each separate element given it's own filesystem. While it gives us tons of flexibility and a lot of peace of mind when it comes to snapshots, it means we're going to have in the order of 150 filesystems to backup. However, since everything will be stored within one pool, it's looking very much like "zfs snapshot -r" and "zfs send -r" will let us backup our entire network in one go. I'm buring build 78 to CD as we speak to see just how this works.
