ZFS tute updated, headers Markdownified, some clarifications, and bonus new tutes:

   Step 5 - Easily create a full additional backup drive.
   Step 6 - Do a full scan (check for errors) of your backup drive(s)/ bak pool
   Step 7 - Easily replace a bad/failing backup drive

(And e.g. ZP_BAK changed to BAK_POOL for easier reading.)

Seriously, with zfs we've never had backups like this - so simple (almost trivial to do), so elegant and synchronized to a point in time (and this is LIVE fs backups!) so no uncertainty or inconsistencies, and all ZFS raid levels just a trivial command (and extra drive or 3) away!

You owe it to yours elf to get this power on board your hot little fingertips - this is so insanely easy you will undoubtedly start imagining that "commercial online backup" enterprise you've got on yer bucket list.

And now you have a tutorial that even has bold headings :D

On fire!

Read it and praise your maker:
