I won't speak to robustness and efficiency (although I agree with  
Shawn and Finlay) but I do know that ZFS pools would be a fantastic  
plus for Time Machine.

Time Machine is currently limited to saving to one disk  
(partition?).  With ZFS you could pool many disks to make a much  
larger (and expandable) Time Machine store.

I tend to fill up my disks, so trying to save an incremental backup  
to a similar sized disk isn't going to be too effective (even if I  
use the latest more expensive bigger drives).

Cheers,
Ashley.
