[OmniOS-discuss] recovering deleted files from ZFS?

You'll lose files or changes created after the old TXG, AND if it's been a long enough time or a full enough pool, you won't get back to that TXG.

We do nightly backups, but this would be a file that was deleted before the coming daily backup.  Does anyone know if there is a service that can do file recoveries from ZFS?
