OK, so now my ZFS on root FreeBSD-8.2 system runs smoothly and I'm very 
happy being able to have ZFS (coming from solaris11), but.. what is the 
best strategy to back this fbsd system up. do I create various ZFS 
backup filesystem streams or can I easely backup the zroot pool as a 
whole? And if yes, how?
Grateful for all the help I can get in these matters.
