I don't disagree that zfs is the better choice, but...

When it comes to dumping and restoring filesystems, there is still no official 
replacement for the ufsdump and ufsrestore.  The discussion has been had 
before, but to my knowledge, there is no consensus on the best method for 
backing up zfs filesystems.

Personally, I like to use variations on zfs send and zfs receive, but others 
will tell a different story.

Still, don't let this put you off using zfs as the root filesystem.  Just be 
aware that you need to do some work and decide what method of backup is best 
for you.
