Why are you backing up the snapshots ? Or perhaps a better question is
why are you backing them up more than once, as they can't change ?
What are you trying to accomplish with the snapshots ?
You can set the snapdir property on the dataset to hidden and it will
not show up with an ls, even an ls -a, you have to know that the
".zfs" directory is there and cd into it blind. This will keep tools
that walk the directory tree from finding it.
> zfs get snapdir xxx
NAME PROPERTY VALUE SOURCE
xxx snapdir hidden default
You would use "zfs set snapdir=hidden <dataset>" to set the parameter.
