You'd want www.nexenta.com for the nexentastor product. nexenta.org is
for the desktop flavor. With zfs you could probably build 2 identical
systems and use an incremental snapshot send/receive for the backup but
I have no idea how that scales. I'd expect it would be much faster than
traversing the directories, though.
