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.
