Back in 2008 (a long time ago, in zfs-development?) Joe Little wrote
up a "Little Note" about doing zfs backups via Amanda.

What's the advantage of doing it that way?

(Seems complicated, having to learn the not-trivial Amanda system,
plus some other piece of software whose name I forget.)

Anyway, was that the best way to do it back then?

And if it was, is it STILL the best way to do it?


How do YOU make an off-site backup?



(It does seem to me that Sun could, without too much work,
come out with something LIKE the old ufsdump/restore pair, that
would work on zfs! Why do you suppose they don't?)



Thanks!,

David

I send my compressed ZFS snapshots to locally connected USB drives
and to remote NFS servers (over SSH tunnels.)
