Actually, this is pretty cool.
If I choose the last/latest/most recent snapshot and do like so:
zfs send -R tank/filesystem/foo...@backup_date | ssh newsys zfs recv -d
tank/test
It copies everything over as I had hoped. I suppose this was somewhat obvious

Say that I want to move those snapshots to another system /as they are/ and
continue to to do nightly snapshots from the fileserver only to a new ho
