Automatic ZFS Snapshots on Solaris 10

snapshotsolariszfs

I'm trying to enable automatic ZFS snapshotting on a Solaris 10 server.
From extensive googling, I've managed to understand that there are/were some automated services to do this, like:

And even locate a manual of sorts for a built in service:

Alas, on the Solaris I'm working on, I can't seem to find the "Time Slider" service, nor the auto-snapshot service other articles refer to, that is supposed to be built in, and simply enabled.

Does anyone know how I can install/enable this service?

This service isn't available for Solaris 10, you need an OpenSolaris based distribution or Solaris 11 Express to get it. Of course, nothing prevents you to re-implement it but you will miss the Gnome file manager integration.
