It was temporarily removed because we wanted to integrate the Time  
Slider GUI for the snapshot feature first.  The backup feature will be  
re-added (also with a GUI) at a later date, hopefully in time for  
2009.04-- although right now I believe the guys are still debating  
whether to use zfs send/recv for this as before, or to switch to zfs  
mirror (which has its pros and cons).

Cheeri,
Calum.
