I use zfs send/receive when replicating stuff, as it copies all the 
snapshots and so on.

If I don't want the snapshots, or it is not a very active filesystem, 
then I use rsync - but the initial copy would have been zfs send.

If it's a busy filesystem, i.e. most of the files have been touched, zfs 
send.

     Cheers,
         Gary    B-)
