the "zfs send" and "zfs receive" commands can be used analogously to
"ufsdump" and "ufsrestore".
You'll have to create the root pool by hand when doing a system restore,
but it's not really any different than having to partition the disk
under the old ufs-way.
So, use "zfs send" to write the zfs filesystems to DAT.
To recover:
(1) boot from S10 DVD
(2) exit installer
(3) create root zfs pool
(4) create root zfs filesystem, swap, and dump zvols, and any other
normal zfs filesystem in the root zpool.
(5) restore each filesystem using "zfs receive" from the DAT.
(6) use "installboot" (for SPARC), remembering to use the -F zfs option,
to get the bootblock done

Dear all,
given a DVD drive and DAT Tape Drive, and using Solaris 10 U7 (5/09),
how can we plan for a total backup of ZFS root disk and procedure to
recover that?
Previously using UFS, we just need to use boot from Solaris OS DVD
media, also using ufsdump, ufsrestore and installboot.
Anybody can point me on how to achieve the same thing when the whole
system disk are busted?
Thanks in advance,
Dedhi
