This is what I've done, but am still a bit stuck, as it doesn't quite work!
I scan the zpool list for the drive (I created backup1/data and backup2/data on
the two USB drives)
/usr/sbin/zpool import backup2
/usr/sbin/zfs snapshot -r rp...@20090715033358
/usr/sbin/zfs destroy
last question! I promise :)
Google's not helped me much, but that's probably my keyword-ignorance.
I have two USB HDD's, I want to swap them over, so there's one off-site and one
plugged in, they get swapped over weekly. Not perfect, but sufficient for this
site's risk assessment. They'll
You can also select which snapshots you'd like to copy - and egrep away what you
don't need.
Here's what I did to back up some servers to a filer (as compressed ZFS
snapshots
stored into files or further simple deployment on multiple servers, as well as
offsite rsyncing of the said files). The

I'm putting together a LAN server with a couple of terabyte HDDs as a mirror

By default, the zfs send -R will send all the snapshots, including
swap and dump. But you
