Please report any conclusions you have about this scenario. The scheme
I'd expect to be most useful would be to momentarily stop backuppc,
snapshot the volume and restart, then send a copy of the snapshot to the
remote, using incremental mode once you get started. Then if you want
to access the remote copy, you would convert the snapshot to a
filesystem. You could get a feeling for how practical this would be
even without a remote zfs to 'recv' the copy. What will matter is the
size of an incremental send, which you could determine by making one
snapshot, letting backuppc do a typical daily run, making a 2nd
snapshot, then doing an incremental send using the 2 copies and looking
at the size of the output.
