    Dan,
        You know if this is a just one shot attempt?  Meaning if I choose
    the wrong TXG to import, can I export and try again with a different TXG?

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?
