One problem I ran into is that the file sharing technologies in
FreeBSD have not kept up; I consider NFSv4 a requirement for sanely
sharing ZFS over a network, and FreeBSD's NFSv4 server is still under
heavy development and not yet production-ready.  That may not matter
for a backup server, though.
