Absolutely. The issue is: will you even *remember* all the ZFS configuration
commands that you have done to your setup when you need to restore it? Thus
I need a file I can backup along with (but separate from) the ZFS files.

It's more than a handy feature. You either have to write down all

With this RFE, you could replay the configuration, restore from tape
and be back up pretty quickly with the same setup you had.
Mark,
you don't need to convince me - I am absolutely in favor of this feature.
However, I have a friendly comment on that "quick" part: don't you
think that it takes significantly more time to load your valuable data
from tapes back to disks, than zpool creation, whether manual or
automated ?
