Hi Folks -- I created a backup of a 50GB zvol (rpool/vista) the other day by making a snapshot and sending via: # zfs create -V 50g rpool/vista ... # zfs snapshot rpool/vista at snapshotname # zfs send -R rpool/vista at snapshotname > vista.zfs I would now like to restore but am getting errors (I''m completely new to this): # zfs create -V 50g rpool/vista # zfs receive -v rpool/vista < vista.zfs cannot receive: must use -d to receive replication (-R) stream # zfs receive -F -v -d rpool/vista < vista.zfs cannot open rpool/vista: operation not applicable to datasets of this type cannot receive new filesystem stream: unable to restore to detination I know the data was backed up (vista.zfs is a 24G file), how do I get the contents of my zvol back? I''m using OpenSolaris 2009.06. Many thanks in advance, John John Meyer Principal Field Technologist North American Enterprise Sales Team Sun Microsystems, Inc.
