An example would be if you had a raw snapshot on tape.
Unless I misunderstand ZFS, you can archive the contents of a
snapshot, but there's no concept of a 'raw snapshot' divorced from a
filesystem.
A single file or subset of files could be restored from it without
needing the space to load the full snapshot into a zpool. This
would be handy if you have a zpool with 500GB of space and 300GB
used. If you had a snapshot that was 250GB and wanted to load it
back up to restore a file, you wouldn't have sufficient space.
