bareos AND zfs

[ultra]

[I will be crossposting to bareos-users, but perhaps there's additional insight or thoughts on the approach overall to be had here.]

I'm weighing options for a heterogeneous small business. FreeNAS and ZFS are appealing, so are the client daemons in bareos.

I've found the recipe/fix for installing bareos on FreeNAS, but a question which arises: will bareos backups fight (for space or cpu) with zfs, or are bareos increments just treated as more files with zfs snapshotting being entirely bypassed. So far as I could tell by perusing the bareos manual the only zfs specificity concerns access control.

Thanks in advance,
ultra

I'd be curious to know what you learned in this process. I'm headed in a similar direction.
