[SunHELP] Best way to copy ZFS filesystems across network?

[Brian Richman]

Not quite what you asked for, but steps 11 and 12 might be a help:

I've not seen
"mirror ... from one box to another", using anything else other than something
like rsync. It would be interesting to know if anyone does this using a
'proper' mirror with one disk on one server and the second on another! 

I bet
performance would stink if it was possible if the interconnecting LAN was
anything like busy and/or the file sizes were large!!
