But before I move to ZFS I still can't figure out the backup issue, what is a good way of doing backup to tape, we have a Ultrium 200/400GB which is now using two tapes from our UFS system and ufsdump?


There's no ufsdump equivalent yet. You'll need to read the data from
within the filesystem. tar, cpio, commercial apps, etc. Anything like
that should work fine with tapes.

Hmm okej, does that mean that I will have to do a full backup each day, or is there some cleaver way of doing incrementail backups?
