System Backup
To create a system image, I use the open source tool clonezilla. The
problem is, clonezilla dont know the solaris ZFS. Therefore clonezilla
makes a simple dd copy without any compressing of the saved data.
Now my question. Which tool you use to create simple system backup
images on external disks? I am looking for a tool which is able to
handle ZFS.

Thank you for answering. How can I recover? What I must do in the case
