ZFS is an open-source combined file system and logical volume manager designed by Sun Microsystems, which among its features is snapshots and copy-on-write clones (writable snapshots) support. In ZFS filesystem, a snapshot is created very quickly, since all the data composing the snapshot is already stored, and space efficient, since any unchanged data is shared among the file system and its snapshots.
ZFS is part of Sun’s own Solaris operating system and is thus available on both SPARC and x86-based system. In Solaris OS, a ZFS snapshot is a read-only copy of a Solaris ZFS file system or volume. To help administrator to understand and fully utilize capability of ZFS snapshots, Sun has made available a free short guide titled “Working with ZFS Snapshots How-To Guide” as part of Solaris 10 How-To Guides.
The guide provides the following information:
