Hi All,

Just curious about how the incremental send works. Is it changed blocks or
files and how are the changed blocks or files identified?

It's done at the DMU layer, based on blocks of objects. We use the block-pointer relationships (ie, the on-disk structure of files) to quickly find the only the changed blocks.
