I currently have a host that serves as a nominal backup host by receiving 
nightly differential snapshots of datasets/filesystems from a fileserver.

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 host as 
if nothing has changed...How do I approach this as 'zfs send/recv' from the 
manual doesn't quite work the way I expect, e.g.

"zfs send tank/snaps...@today | ssh newbox zfs recv tank/snaps...@today"

barfs complaining that the fs already exists on the receiving host. I just want 
to copy all the snapshots on one host to another without altering them at all.

I'm certain this must be do-able and that I'm doing it wrong somehow.
