DA> Not crazy, unless you need to get the backups off-site.
In that case you can have another box in other location/site and
replicate data to it. Eventually you can install a backup client on
such a zfs server and backup your data from here - depends on
environment it could make a lot of sense and even save you money on
licensing alone (one backup client for data coming from many servers).
