[Discuss] Backing up the entire filesystem



I don't think any of the usual bootloaders support ZFS. The usual way
to handle that is to create a small /boot filesystem using something
else like ext4, just like you did back in the days when large hard
drives weren't supported by the BIOS and therefore the bootloader
couldn't access their entire capacity. The installers for most distros
can handle setting up a system that way.
