You are focusing on ZFS, but this was not the point of the original post; it was just an example. > If you are using file- and directory-level backup tools to back up ZFS > snapshots, that definitely sounds like you are barking up the wrong > tree. Sometimes you have complex system, with several machines (some with ZFS, some with UFS, some with a mix and some not even BSD) and you need an integrated solution. Handling ZFS filesystem differently from the others would be a pain. Besides, restoring a whole filesystem if you just need a couple of files would be very inefficient.
