The reason for wanting raidz was to have some redundancy in the backup without
the big hit on space that duplicating the data would have.
The other issue is the switching process. More likely to have screwups if every
week I, or someone else when I'm out, have to break and reset 24 mirrors
How's that working for you? Seems like it would be as straightforward as I was
thinking - only possible.

Thanks Cindy - I've been looking for an admin guide!
I'll play with the split command - sounds interesting.

Yeah, that's starting to sound like a fairly simple but equally robust
solution. That may be the final solution. Thanks!

True! I don't need the same level of redundancy on the backup as the primary.

This may have been covered somewhere but I couldn't find it.
Is it possible to mirror two raidz vdevs? Like a RAID50 basically.

Ah. Thanks! I should have said RAID51 - a mirror of RAID5 elements.
Thanks for the info. Bummer that it can't be done.

I wanted to test it as a backup solution. Maybe that's crazy in itself but I
want to try it.
Basically, once a week detach the 'backup' pool from the mirror, replace the
drives, add the new raidz to the mirror and let it resilver and sit for a week.
