Linux, AIX and Solaris Backup and System Recovery Software

ZFS Filesystem Migration

The Solaris Zeta File System (ZFS) provides the most simple and flexible software storage available for UNIX. SBAdmin is the only solution which provides full system backup and recovery that includes full ZFS filesystem support:

ZFS Filesystem Migration

Convert file systems from UFS to ZFS
Migrate root (/) on UFS to root on ZFS
Migrate from disk slices to ZFS Volumes
Migrate from Solaris Volume Manager (SVM) to ZFS
Create new Zpools and ZFS Virtual Devices
Create new ZFS filesystems
Move ZFS volumes and filesystems to different zpools
Rename ZFS pools & volumes

SBAdmin for Solaris not only allows you to recover existing filesystems, but also to migrate to ZFS from other UFS filesystems created on disk slices or Solaris Volume Manager (SVM) meta-devices.

SBAdmin will rebuild the entire system from the ground up, reclaiming space on slices for use in Zpools, creating the ZFS virtual devices and filesystems, and restoring the data. When complete, the system is rebooted and your new system is up and running.
