Re: HOWTO Installing a zvol-based gentoo domU from an: msg#00202

Subject: Re: HOWTO Installing a zvol-based gentoo domU from an
ZFS Snapshots sent by zfs send/recv are data streams, so you can dump to a file:

zfs snapshot pool/dataset@snapshot
zfs send pool/dataset@snapshot > /backups/dataset-snapshot-100107.zfssnap

Then restore later:

cat /backups/dataset-snapshot-100107.zfssnap | zfs recv -d pool

For compression, etc, just send the snapshot datastream to gzip or something 
rather than directly to file.
