I seem to have this unwritten expectation that with ZFS I would get

filesystem plus incrementals and all the metadata also.
Really ? ufsdump doesn't record the SVM layout, it doesn't record
the options you set in /etc/vfstab or /etc/dfs/dfstab. So personally I
don't think it does store all the metadata.
I lose that with ZFS as the backup technology does not exist yet to backup
all the metadata also.
Perhaps we need to craft a zfsbackup and zfsrestore command ?
Or fix the existing send/recv to pass the options and be able to be told
how to manage tapes in the simple way that ufsdump can.
