OK, I know this is only tangentially related to ZFS, but we're desperate and I thought someone might have a clue or idea of what kind of thing to look for. Also, this issue is holding up widespread adoption of ZFS at our shop. It's making the powers-that-be balk a little - understandably. If we can't back up stuff on ZFS, we can't really use it.
We have a ZFS filesystem that's guarded by the Vormetric encryption product to prevent unauthorized users from reading it. Our backup software, HP's Data Protector, refuses to back up this dataset even though it runs as a user with privileges to read the files. When we guard a ZFS dataset with Vormetric, we get the alerts below in HP DP and the data is not backed up. Any suggestions at all are welcome. Note that, yes - files in similarly protected directories on UFS file systems do get backed up correctly. So it has *something* to do with ZFS.
