Seconded. ZFS is the only filesystem I trust with my children's baby pictures, as well as to store the git repo's for my personal projects (stuff I don't want on GitHub for a variety of reasons).

I am happy to hear that. While I certainly think ZFS is the best filesystem available for storing this kind of data, i would like to add a word of caution that ZFS is not a replacement for backups. I elaborated on this in one of the supplementary blog posts:

Absolutely. I have a regular backups strategy that also backs up to a ZFS system :).
