zfs send includes the filesystem data. If you only want to keep a
backup copy of the active zfs datasets and their properties, you can
probably use "zfs get all <dataset>" on all of them.

Florian is asking for a solution that copies his pool configuration
information,
not his dataset properties, and currently no easy way exists to save
the pool
configuration.

Florian, we are working on providing a pool recovery solution, we're
just not
there yet. A combination of zfs dataset snapshots and capturing your
zpool
history output can provide a workable recovery solution in the
meantime.

If you are using the Solaris 10 release, you might consider creating a
ZFS
flash archive (for a total pool recovery) or if you are using the
Solaris Nevada
or OpenSolaris release, build 131 includes the zpool split feature
that
allows you to split a mirrored pool to create an identical pool.
Neither are
true backup solutions but might give you ideas until we provide a pool
recovery tool.

Thanks,

Cindy

I know. But this is not what I really want.

Thanks.
