Note -  osc-config-backup only backs up the configuration information of the ZFS storage appliance. It is the customer's responsibility to ensure that all data on the ZFS storage appliance is backed up through replication (to a remote ZFS backup appliance) or NDMP. For more details about NDMP, refer to the white paper titled NDMP Implementation Guide for the Sun ZFS Storage Appliance, available from:http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/server-storage/sun-unified-storage/documentation
