Toasters, Are there any plans to support backup of ZFS volumes using OSSV(Solaris) ? To put it another way, what would be a good way to backup ZFS volumes to a NetApp. Anyone doing this currently? Thanks

The only possibility I see is rsync. Ndmp could work.
(We had the idea of doing it the other way: ZFS appliance as backup for a 6080 cluster).
Grtnx,
I concur, rsync is your friend (and a good one at that).

I doubt this will ever happen. Not even NDMP is working because the two vendors are using different "backends" there...

Thanks to all those who replied. Looks like I got the whole thing wrong :) After checking the logs and doing some more tests we found that OSSV does backup ZFS volumes, its only that it fails to backup (incremental/updates) empty mount points and there's a snapvault.cfg override for that too. So we are now testing to see if that works for us. Also others have confirmed that they are indeed backing up zfs volumes using OSSV. So all's good. Hope you all have a great weekend.
