Coincidentally the 2.5 admins podcast just published an episode on ZFS basics: Why ZFS https://2.5admins.com/2-5-admins-256/

ZFS relates to backups. In my case (among the many things I like about ZFS) is that it preserves hard links which I used to reduce the space requirements for my primary `rsync` backup but which `rsync` blew up copying to my remote backup. (Yes, there's a switch to preserve hard links but it is not sufficiently performant for this application.)

(Episode #256 which is a number that resonates with many of us. ;) )
