Geek night

I recently ordered a new drive enclosure and drives for my server, and the enclosure arrived today. I am doing some experimenting with Sun's new filesystem, ZFS, and the new drives will help me with the research. I now have 1.2 Terrabytes of drive space configured in a 960G RAID-Z configuration. Needless to say, I think I will be all set for disk space for the next several years. And while ZFS has some nifty data protection features, such as online data checksums, built-in snapshots, and RAID, I'm still trying to figure out how I will do offsite backups of all that data.

Very nice, indeed! So how does RAID-Z differ from other RAID implementations?
