Validate rpool backup content
Hi experts,
I've have some queries on the rpool backup process and would appreciate your assistance:
1. After back-up of rpool using snapshot and send to a file, we perform a gz compression. Is there any way to verify that the rpool was backup properly without any errors?
2. Is the only way to verify the contents of the rpool backup via zfs receive command?
3. when using zfs send, is it better to use zfs send -v rpool@backup or zfs send -vR rpool@backup? I understand that -R will send all the descendant FS of rpool, but is this a recommended way or would doing send -v for each individual rpool FS be a better method, especially when doing a restore of rpool?
