I would say Solaris/OpenSolaris as I believe ZFS is not as stable and
reliable on the others...

In any case, if you really have a multi-TB backup deployment I believe
you are big enough to afford running OpenSolaris on a dedicated
machine.

This is also something that will be addressed on the next few years on
Linux, as there are currently several improved filesystems being
developed on that platform (ext4, btrfs, NILFS, Tux3) that will
certainly address this need on the Linux platform as well.

The footer of the e-mails in this mailing lists seem to have been very
appropriately chosen too!
