Backup and restore a jail

Dear balanga,
if the jail is on zfs you can take a snapshot and revert it using the command line using FreeBSD as well. To explore the power of zfs I consider it interesting to generate a kind of basejail and use zfs clone to re-use the common things for more than one jail. There are tools around which do that, but I think it is good it grasp the power behind.

You are right, of course, but some of these tools are so powerful and complicated that it does take a lot of time to 'grasp the power behind'. Sometimes it's just easier to click on an icon and let the power work automagically without really understanding it...
