> Second, I'm really fond of the full-disk backup I have running. I has saved my ass several times, allowing me to be back in action in less than an hour with minimal data loss, by simply swapping out the disk and restore. Does ZFS approximate this?

I've been thinking about running ZFS on root. I've been running ZFS on my NAS for ages and been very happy, but I've also seen many posts on the mailing list about people suddenly being unable to boot with ZFS root systems after some update. As much as I love ZFS, it's a very complex beast, and that makes me a bit wary using it in that role. However in theory it would be great, I think. So I'm considering trying that on my secondary box soon.
