PBS to backup FreeNAS?

[garbled]

I'm interested in installing a PBS server, but the majority of the data I want to backup is my FreeNAS pool. Does PBS have any facilities builtin to do ZFS snapshots? If it doesn't, is it at least possible to use it as a ZFS snapshot target from FreeNAS?

no, although pbs can use zfs as the underlying fs for its datastores, the backup functionality has nothing do to with zfs.

If it doesn't, is it at least possible to use it as a ZFS snapshot target from FreeNAS?

while you could send/recv a dataset to pbs (given that you have zpool on it), this would be independent of any backup/restore functionality and you could use any os(with zfs support) for that
